Okay, so I've been using these Schott lead glasses for about 6 months now in our busy cath lab, and here's the real talk:
First off - COMFORT. These are shockingly lightweight compared to those clunky hospital loaners. I can wear them through 10-hour shifts without getting that behind-the-ear soreness. The DuraLite frame actually lives up to its name - dropped them twice (oops) and zero cracks.
The 0.75mm Pb protection is legit - tested them under fluoro myself after hearing horror stories about fake Amazon products. Clear vision with minimal distortion, though one colleague did mention slight ghosting (personally never noticed).
Pro tip: The included strap is garbage - invest in a proper loupe strap if you're constantly moving like me. Also wish the frames had lead lining too, but at this price point? Still a steal.
Bonus: They actually look decent! Got compliments from surgeons (who normally roast our PPE). Storage case feels premium - no more scratched lenses floating in my locker.
Downside? Phillips branding is misleading - these aren't actually made by them. But after daily use, I can confirm they hold up better than my last $300 pair from 'reputable' medical suppliers.
Final verdict: If your hospital cheaps out on radiation protection like mine does, these are worth every penny. Just maybe don't leave them in the OR bathroom...
