A study was done to determine the degree of radiation protection afforded by various types of prescription lenses, including commercially available lead glasses. A wide variation in measured attenuation was found. Two commonly available types of prescription lenses were found to provide greater than 920/0 attenuation of the x-ray beam generated at 108 kVp.

Although lead glasses are commercially available with or without a prescription, they are expensive and cumbersome. However, commonly used corrective glasses have also been found to protect the eyes from ionizing radiations
