The invention relates to an apparatus for protecting eyes from radiation, in particular for protecting the lenses of the eyes of medical personnel from x-ray radiation or other ionizing radiation during medical examinations. The apparatus is easy to handle and ensures shielding of the eyes from x-ray radiation, but nonetheless offers the best working and viewing conditions for the wearer. This is achieved by a housing made of a shell-type frame, which encloses the eye area and laterally the temples of the wearer, and a support device for placement on the head and with a nose rest for positioning on the bridge of the nose. The frame includes a frontal opening, in which a shield opaque to x-ray radiation is fitted, and at least one video playback device is arranged on the rear side of the shield, facing toward the eyes, inside the frame, and being coupled to an optical recording device or a camera, which is arranged on the side of the shield that faces away from the wearer.
