Need a pair of radiation safety glasses for fluoroscopy? In the fast-paced environment of medical procedures, it’s easy to overlook the long-term effects of repeated exposure to radiation, particularly for professionals working with fluoroscopy. The necessity of radiation safety glasses in this field cannot be overstated. These specialized glasses, equipped with lead lenses, serve as a crucial barrier against the potentially harmful x-ray radiation emitted by fluoroscopy machines. Not only do they safeguard against immediate risks, such as cataracts—a known consequence of prolonged exposure—but they also mitigate the cumulative effects of radiation, preserving eye health over a practitioner’s career.
In this article, we delve into the significance of radiation safety for fluoroscopy, outlining the key benefits and considerations surrounding the use of protective eyewear. Whether you’re a seasoned specialist or a novice practitioner, prioritizing your ocular health is paramount in maintaining a safe and sustainable career in medicine.
Safety glasses for fluoroscopy have lead in the lenses to attenuate, or absorb, the dangerous x-ray radiation that is emitted by these life-saving machines.
If you are a doctor working in fluoroscopy, it is very important that you wear radiation safety glasses. Radiation safety for fluoroscopy protects you from potentially debilitating health risks which are associated with a career’s worth of exposure to x-ray radiation from working in fluoroscopy.
If you are a heart specialist or another health professional working in fluoroscopy, you should know that early-onset cataracts has been associated with repeated use of a fluoroscope, even in patients with no family history of cataracts. The result can be the need for surgery and possibly even permanent damage to the eyes that could ultimately end a career in medicine.
Radiation safety glasses reduce or eliminate your risk of developing cataracts from working with a fluoroscope by attenuating the x-ray radiation your eyes would otherwise be exposed to.
Radiation safety for fluoroscopy is important because, even though fluoroscopes emit a small amount of radiation, x-ray radiation exposure is cumulative and can have long-term effects. This is even (or especially) true for doctors who, after decades of work without eyewear, have had no eye problems.
Radiation safety glasses, or x-ray safety glasses, are available in a variety of frame types to ensure that you can get a pair that is comfortable and useful to you.
Our radiation safety lenses are made of Schott SF-6 radiation safety glass, which offer 0.75mm Pb equivalency and the clearest glass on the market, totally free of defects and imperfections.
We make prescription radiation safety glasses for fluoroscopy in our own in-house prescription optical lab. If you need prescription x-ray safety glasses, we can make them for you.

If you are working in fluoroscopy without radiation safety glasses, we urge you to consider radiation safety for fluoroscopy where your eyes are concerned. Most doctors wear leaded gloves, aprons, thyroid collars, and other equipment during fluoroscope procedures. Additionally, personnel in the room not involved with the operation often stand behind leaded shields to protect themselves from radiation. Why shouldn’t you protect your eyes, arguably your most valuable sense and one of your most amazing organs? Radiation safety for fluoroscopy is essential and something that should not be overlooked. If you have any questions about radiation safety, what you can do to protect yourself, or what we have to offer as far as eyewear, don’t hesitate to contact us!
