Radiation Safety Glasses for the Cath Lab, OR and Radiology

Clinicians who work near the x-ray beam need radiation safety eyewear they can wear through a full day of cases. Our leaded eyeglasses are built for exactly that: lead glasses for cath lab teams, lead glasses for the operating room and lead glasses for radiology and interventional suites. Whether you call them x-ray safety glasses, fluoroscopy glasses, leaded surgical glasses or radiation shielding glasses, every pair uses the same 0.75 mm Pb lenses, so you get consistent lead glasses radiation protection in every frame.

Leaded glasses for fluoroscopy and lead glasses for x-ray work need to be comfortable as well as protective. That's why our radiation eyewear comes in lightweight sport, classic and safety-style frames from brands clinicians already know.

Prescription Lead Glasses

Most of our frames can be ordered as prescription radiation glasses. Choose single vision, standard bifocal or progressive lenses, then upload your prescription (including your pupillary distance) at checkout. Anti-fog and anti-reflective coatings are available on every frame, so your prescription radiation safety glasses stay clear under procedure room lights.

Fitover Radiation Glasses

Already wear eyeglasses? Fitover radiation glasses are designed to be worn over your everyday frames, giving you eyeglasses radiation protection without ordering a new prescription. Styles such as the Haven LSND Fitover and the Jonathan Paul Cool Fitover Classic are a simple way to add radiation protection for eyeglasses wearers, visiting staff or anyone who needs a spare pair.

Radiation Glasses for Men and Women

Protection works best when you actually wear it, so we carry frames people want to put on. Popular radiation glasses for men include Nike, Oakley, Under Armour and Ray-Ban styles. Our women's lead glasses include Kate Spade frames, and smaller fits such as the Pentax Classic 10 are available for narrower faces. Every pair of radiation eyeglasses can be personalized with custom engraving.

Lead Glasses with Side Shields

Scatter radiation doesn't only come from the front. Many of our lead protective glasses offer detachable or integrated leaded side shields, turning a standard frame into lead lined safety glasses with wraparound coverage. Look for the side shield option on each product page.
