Eye lens radiation exposure during fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures may result in occupational radiation-induced cataracts. We evaluated the eye lens radiation doses and the protective effect of X‑ray protective visors during ureteroscopic procedures. Eye lens doses were measured in front of and behind X‑ray protective visors using eye ...
