Similar to the Proguard LeadR’s frame, the Comet Lead goggles are an affordable option providing excellent coverage against x-ray. The Comet’s unique side shield configuration allows for lead shielding to be placed on the frame exterior and wrap around the entire lens area, providing a complete seal from scatter radiation.
FEATURES
- Rubberized nose bridge and temples for comfort and fit
- Extended Lateral Side Shields
- Wide field of view

MAINTAINING YOUR EYEWEAR
Storage: Leaded Eyewear should be stored in a protective case in normal room temperature and low humidity conditions when not in use.
Maintenance: Examine Leaded Eyewear frequently and before each use. Cease use and replace or repair immediately if the eyewear are chipped, pitted, or damaged. You may tighten screws/hinges if they loosen. Cleaning the Frame: use any standard eyewear cleaning cloth. Diluted soap and water usually will not discolor or damage the frame. Cleaning the Lenses: Never use ammonia or chlorine-based cleaners. Use of alcohol is permitted for lenses that do not posses an anti-reflective (A/R) coat. To clean A/R coat lenses, soak in diluted soap and water. DO NOT allow water to remain or dry onto the lenses as this can discolor/damage the lens. Wipe and dry using a Protech cleaning cloth or equivalent soft, lint free cloth.
