03/27/2023 – Bangor, PA: Working in the medical field has likely taught you the value of taking precautions against radiation exposure. You protect your body from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation by wearing lead aprons, gloves, and thyroid shields. But what about your vision? Do you protect your eyes with radiation protection glasses? Shouldn’t you?

Why Do You Need Radiation-Protection Glasses? VS Eyewear Explains

Radiation protection glasses are recommended for radiologists and other medical imaging professionals to use while on the job. Eye exposure to radiation without proper protection not only poses an immediate threat to the eyes but also, over time, may lead to injuries or illnesses that could end a healthcare worker’s career.

Protect yourself with some lead glasses

Protecting one’s eyes from radiation exposure is essential, and lead glasses are the most  effective option. By shielding the eyes with lead glasses, you can protect them from harmful radiation. Radiology professionals are encouraged to protect their eyes by wearing lightweight lead glasses, as recommended by researchers.

A pair of leaded glasses will protect your eyes from radiation by reducing the amount of light that enters your eyes. In order to maximize protection while minimizing weight, the front lens of the eyewear should be at least 0.5mm or 0.6mm Pb. You need pb-side lenses of at least 0.25 mm in thickness. The eyes should be shielded from x-rays from all sides to avoid damage. 

Places Where Radiation-Protective Eyewear Is Necessary

Workers in the healthcare industry can still be exposed to X-rays even if they are not directly in the beam’s path because X-ray particles can scatter in multiple directions. So, if you work in a medical imaging setting like interventional radiology, an operating room, or a cardiac cath lab, it is very important to wear glasses that protect your eyes from radiation. For all of your shielding needs, VS Eyewear has the Model RK2 Radiation Goggle. 

The Phillips Model RK2 radiation protective goggles are equipped with neoprene foam that shields against splashes and sweat and vented side ports that keep them from fogging up. The flame-resistant elastic headband can be tightened or loosened to make a comfortable fit, and the large lens pocket lets you see as much as possible. The large lens pocket and adjustable, flame-resistant headband provide excellent peripheral vision.

How to Pick the Right Pair of Radiation Goggles

Choosing the best radiation protection glasses involves a number of considerations. It is important to evaluate the safety features of your lead glasses or prescription lead glasses. Additionally, you should wear glasses that provide adequate coverage, are easy to wear, and fit snugly. It’s important to think about how your nose and under-eye areas will feel with different frames. The glasses may not be comfortable for all-day use if the pressure is too high.
