has anyone decided to purchase lead shielded glasses/goggles or is the amount of radiation pain doctors exposed to not significant enough to warrant it?
No don't do it...my pair broke after a few months. The Nike frames are crap. Just bought the philips lenses listed above for $100 on Amazon.

the lense will fall out when you hyper-extend the frame, due to poor frame constructions. I threw mine out. they look nice by poor quality. like the Phillips SafetyHmm.... I've actually got a pair of these on the way.... on my jobs dime... hopefully mine will fare better

Lenses need lead crystal or similar radiation blocking materials.Hi all; just wanted to revive this thread to see if anyone has any current suggestions. I've seen some pain practitioners use athletic goggles, and wondering if those are a suitable substitute, given that anything with the phrase "medical" in it means a 500% markup...
I use a leaded face shield. I've never had any lead goggles fit comfortably over my glasses, and my prescription is poor enough that any addition weight on my glasses will make them fall off my face.

I've been using it for a few months now, and it's been great. Nice face protection too.

Sorry, I haven't logged on in a while! I actually do not know, they were purchased for me when I started my job at my current hospital. I will look into it... I am a little concerned if they are indeed as thin as the one you found. I'll also look into cost!plus they were $500...is that normal?
