I ordered some lead glasses and I am not sure if it is the make I ordered or if all lead glasses are this way but for some reason they decrease my visual acuity whenever I wear them. They are not prescription as I dont wear prescription glasses. Is this something all of them do or should I return and order a different type? thanks everyone

I had some non-prescription lead glasses and I swear they changed my vision ever so slightly to the point that it was distracting and I have never tried another pair since then. I would love some recommendations for some that are crystal clear and don't change vision at all.

Toothpaste on the lens is an old military dive secret I was taught. It works 50% of the time, and I need to start using lead glasses.
 
I have a pair of Nikes that I’ve liked. Can’t remember where I bought from. Having said that the Little screws holding the ear piece to the rest of the frames are breaking. I e had them for 4 years
 
Anyone have any lead glasses they have been pleased with?
Can't link to Amazon directly, but I got a pair of "Leaded Glasses Radiation Safety Eyewear Model Psr-500" there.

They have little side shields to help with scatter. I obviously put them under the c-arm before wearing them to ensure that they were actually radioopaque since I assume most Amazon stuff is cheap Chinese garbage. These passed the c-arm test and actually appear to be made in America.
