Protect Your Eyes With Nike Radiation Safety Glasses

Radiation Eye Protection

In recent years, there has been an increased concern regarding occupational dose to the lens of the eye in interventional radiologists. “New data from exposed human populations suggest that lens opacities (cataracts) occur at doses far lower than those previously believed to cause cataracts.” ¹
[www.sirweb.org/clinical/cpg/safety6.pdf] The latency period for radiation cataract formation appears to be inversely related to radiation dose.

Stylish and Functional Radiation Safety Glasses

Protecting the operator’s eyes from scattered radiation is an important radiation safety consideration. For years, heavy and uncomfortable lead goggles were the only option for interventional radiologists. The increased awareness of radiation eye protection has resulted in new product offerings that blend the functionality of traditional leaded glasses with the style of designer eyeglass and sunglass frames.
