Cataracts? What are they? 👁
Cataracts can develop as a result of radiation exposure, among other causes, and therefore represent a known risk that should be specifically avoided. For individuals exposed to radiation in the workplace, there are legal requirements for monitoring the dose to the lens of the eye, which may vary by country; for this reason, we do not wish to make a general statement on this matter here. However, regular monitoring of this dose is generally recommended – for example, using a dosimeter.
👓 To protect the eyes, our product portfolio offers a wide range of personal protective equipment. You can find more information on our website: https://mavig.com/products/x-ray-protection/eyeprotection/
June is Cataract Awareness Month, so this month you’ll see several posts from us on the topic of eye health and protection. Feel free to send us your suggestions for topics we should cover in a post. ✨
