Selecting the right lead glasses involves considering several factors:
Protection Level: Look for glasses that offer a high level of radiation protection, typically measured in millimeters (mm) of lead equivalency. Most lead glasses provide between 0.5mm to 0.75mm lead equivalency. Comfort and Fit: Since nurses may need to wear these glasses for extended periods, they should ensure the glasses are comfortable and fit well. Durability: Choose glasses made from high-quality materials that can withstand the rigors of a healthcare environment. Style: While not as critical as protection, having a variety of styles can help ensure that the glasses are worn consistently.
