Abstract: An eye shield having two layers of X-radiation protective material is disclosed. X-radiation initially encounters a metalized thin layer that permits the substantial transmission of accompanying visible light yet partially diffracts, reflects, and refracts the X-radiation to decrease the amount of X-radiation passing through this metalized layer. Beneath the metalized thin layer is a lead layer that allows the passage of limited amounts of visible light yet functions to absorb effectively X-radiation. In combination, these two layers protect the eyes of a wearer from harmful X-radiation while permitting the wearer limited forward vision.

Abstract: Safety goggles that effectively filter possibly dangerous levels of all types of cataractogenic radiation including near blue light, UV-A, B, and C, Gamma, and X-radiation are disclosed comprising an UV, Gamma, and X-ray radiopaque frameless leaded polymer lens formed to curve over a user's face having a radiolucent polymer nose rest and ear pieces and a radiopaque boot extending from the lens to proximate the user's face to produce a vented peripheral enclosure to cover both eyes of the user and shield the user's eyes from all angles of harmful radiation exposure, but allow unobstructed forward and peripheral vision.
