Abstract

Eye safety and the risk involved for the interventional pain physician is not entirely clear. Given the available literature on measured radiation exposure to the interventionist, and the controversy regarding dose thresholds, it is our current recommendation that the interventional pain physician use shielded eyewear. As the breadth of interventional procedures continues to grow, so does the radiation risk to the interventional pain physician. As medical professionals, interventional pain physicians play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating patients suffering from chronic pain. Their expertise lies in performing various pain intervention procedures, such as fluoroscopy-guided injections and other image-guided techniques. However, the nature of these procedures exposes them to potential health risks, particularly the hazards of radiation exposure to their eyes. In this article, we delve into the importance of mitigating radiation risks and outline strategies to safeguard the eye health of pain intervention physicians.
