Summary In interventional radiology (IR), the physician's eye lenses are frequently exposed to radiation, hence radiation protection glasses are useful. However, if the lens of the radiation protection glasses is too large, it burdens the surgeon due to its high weight, and if it is too small, the dose value of the dosimeter for the lens may be overestimated. This study aimed to examine the effects of the differences in lead equivalence and lens area between radiation protection glasses on lens exposure management.
