The PC13 A Type X-ray lead glasses are radiation protective eyewear with clear lead glass lenses rated at 0.75mm Pb lead equivalence and built-in side shields.
They are designed to reduce scatter radiation dose to the eye lens for dentists, radiographers, radiologists, and clinical staff who work around X-ray equipment. Each pair is supplied new with a hard protective storage case.
Why Choose These 0.75mm Pb Radiation Protection Glasses
The lens of the eye is one of the most radiation-sensitive tissues in the body, and occupational eye dose limits have been lowered in many jurisdictions. Leaded eyewear is a simple, practical way to shield the eyes during repeated exposure to scatter radiation in dental, medical, and veterinary imaging.
- 0.75mm Pb lead equivalence a higher level of shielding than common 0.5mm Pb eyewear, suited to staff with frequent exposure.
- Side-shield protection lead side panels help block scatter radiation arriving from oblique angles, not just from the front.
- Clear optical lenses keep a clear view of the patient, the unit, and the monitor while protected.
- Lightweight black frame full-rim frame with straight temple arms for everyday clinical wear.
- Hard storage case included helps protect the heavy lead glass lenses from scratches and impact between procedures.
Key Features of the PC13 A Type Lead Eyewear
Front and Lateral Radiation Shielding
The A Type design pairs large front lenses with integrated side protection, giving wider coverage around the eye area than front-only radiation glasses.
Lead Glass Lens Construction
The lenses are made from lead-containing optical glass, which provides the 0.75mm Pb rating while remaining transparent for normal vision.
Ready for Daily Clinical Use
Sold as a single pair per pack, the glasses are ideal for individual staff issue, replacement of worn eyewear, or equipping a new operatory or imaging room.

Applications of Radiation Protective Glasses
- Dental radiography intraoral, handheld, panoramic and CBCT imaging
- Diagnostic radiology and general X-ray rooms
- Fluoroscopy, C-arm, and interventional procedures
- Cardiac catheterisation labs and interventional radiology
- Orthopaedic and pain-management theatres using image guidance
- Veterinary X-ray and imaging practices
- Industrial and laboratory work involving X-ray sources
Care and Use of Lead Glasses
- Clean lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild lens cleaner; avoid abrasive products.
- Store in the supplied hard case when not in use lead glass is heavier and more fragile than standard lenses.
- Do not autoclave or immerse in harsh disinfectants.
- Inspect regularly for chips or cracks and replace damaged eyewear.
- Use together with a lead apron, thyroid collar, and correct room shielding for full personal protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does 0.75mm Pb mean on lead glasses?
0.75mm Pb is the lead equivalence of the lens. It means the lens attenuates X-rays to the same extent as a 0.75mm thick sheet of pure lead under specified test conditions.
Is 0.75mm Pb better than 0.5mm Pb eyewear?
A 0.75mm Pb lens provides greater attenuation than a 0.5mm Pb lens, which is why it is often preferred by staff with high procedure volumes or frequent fluoroscopy work.
Why do X-ray glasses need side shields?
Much of the radiation reaching an operator’s eyes is scatter coming from the patient at an angle. Side shields reduce the exposure that would otherwise pass around the edges of front-only lenses.
Who should wear radiation protective glasses?
Dentists, dental assistants, radiographers, radiologists, interventional cardiologists, surgeons, nurses, veterinary staff, and anyone who regularly stays in the room during X-ray exposures.
Are these lead glasses suitable for dental X-ray use?
Yes. They are well suited to dental clinics using intraoral, handheld, panoramic, or CBCT X-ray units.
Is a case included?
Yes. Each pair comes with a hard protective storage case.
What condition are the glasses in?
The glasses are supplied brand new.
