The eye monitor measures doses to the lens of the eye from photon radiation and beta radiation.
Who is the eye monitor for?
The eye monitor is suitable for workers in the following occupations who may need to be monitored:
- orthopaedic surgery
How long is the monitoring cycle?
Monitoring cycles of 4 or 12 weeks are offered.
How much does it cost?
The cost of the monitor is $18.70* inc GST.
How is it worn?
The monitor is worn on the head, monitors can be attached to safety glasses or a headband.
What does it measure?
| Directly measures | Eye dose - Hp(3) |
| Minimum detectable dose (MDD) | 50 µSv |
| Minimum reportable dose (MRD)* | 100 µSv |
| Uncertainty at the MRD** | 30% |
The eye monitor is used in addition to other monitors that measure radiation exposure to the torso. We recommend pairing the eye monitor with our OSL whole body monitor.
* MRD is based on the Limit of Quantification as defined by “Determination and Interpretation of Characteristic Limits for Radioactivity Measurements” (IAEA/AQ/48)
** Uncertainty at the MRD is based on the 95% confidence limit

Monitor usage
By wearing an eye dosimeter, workers can track their eye radiation exposure levels over time and ensure that they are within the safe limits prescribed by regulatory standards. It also enables employers and radiation safety officers to assess the effectiveness of radiation shielding measures and implement necessary adjustments to protect workers' eyes. This is important because the eyes are particularly sensitive to radiation and can be vulnerable to damage if exposed to excessive doses.
The use of eye monitors contributes to maintaining the health and safety of workers in occupations such as interventional radiology, interventional cardiology, medical imaging, and other industries that use ionising radiation.
