MEDTEC’s tungsten eye shields have been clinically tested and proven to provide adequate protection of the ocular structure for electrons up to 9MeV. Each eye shield is coated with a 2 mm minimum thickness of dental acrylic on the beam entrance side of the shield to reduce electron backscatter to an acceptable level.
Eye shields are sold separately in three sizes: small (19.5 mm), medium (23 mm), and large (25 mm). | |  Coated Eye Shield, MT-T-45- S, M, L
