5 Things Your Protective Eyewear for Patients Must Include

A lot goes on during a regular teeth cleaning appointment, and it’s not uncommon for splashes of debris to occur. But it is also about patient comfort, particularly from the bright exam lights in the room. In this article we’ll delve more into why protecting patients' eyes during a dental exam is extremely important and the best way to protect their eyes.

The Importance of Protecting a Patient’s Eyes

Dental procedures often involve the use of high-speed instruments that generate splatter. Debris and fluids can splash into the eyes, both of which can carry infectious agents. This can lead to eye damage and/or eye infections. Further, curing lights emit UV light and the bright exam lights can cause discomfort and/or damage to the eyes of the patients. So offering protective eyewear to your patients during a dental procedure is not only about their comfort, but about their safety and health!

Protective Eyewear that Provides Safety and Comfort

Protective eyewear with dark lenses can help protect against bright lights and debris from the procedure. These glasses should:

• Be Hygienic
• Be Shatterproof
• Offer UV Filtering
• Offer Side Protection
• Be Comfortable

Remember, for optimum safety, protective eyewear should be the first thing on in the exam room and the last thing off!
