Case Study:
The effectiveness
of lead lenses in
reducingradiation exposure.

In a series of tests, optically ground prescription lenses of glass, leaded glass, and plastic were exposed to radiations that simulated routine angiography. Radiations transmitted through the lenses were measured. Results showed that plastic provided no protection, regular glass provided moderate protection and high lead content glass reduced radiation transmission by approximately 70%. The leaded glass that Imaging Solutions uses blocks 97% and up to 150kp.

Relatively high doses of radiation can damage the conjunctiva, iris, sciera and blood vessels of the retina. The lens of the eye, however, is the critical site, for it may sustain irreversible damage from a relatively low dose of radiation. Low doses will produce only a temporary reaction in the other ocular structures.
