Lead Glasses / Radiation Protection for Eyes

Besides the usefulness of X-rays, they also have harmful aspects. Users need protection from the dangers of X-ray radiation especially for:

  • The eyes
  • The thyroid
  • Blood cells
  • Reproductive organs
  • Other vital organs

Although they are often called “lead glasses,” modern innovations in manufacturing have advanced so that lead is not always used anymore. Lead glasses or X-ray protection glasses are usually somewhat heavy. When choosing lead/X-ray protection glasses, we should consider:

  1. The wearer’s face shape
  2. Whether the wearer already wears prescription glasses
  3. Whether the wearer will be exposed to direct X-ray radiation
  4. Whether the glasses need to protect against splashes of liquid

Typically, lead glasses provide radiation protection of about 0.5 – 0.75 mm Pb, depending on the model selected.
