Super Strong Magnets!
MRI machines have very strong magnets that help them see inside you.
Glasses have metal parts. Metals are attracted to magnets. That’s why it’s tricky!
If you wear glasses into an MRI, they might move suddenly because of the strong magnets.
This sudden movement can be unsafe. That's why we don't wear glasses during an MRI.
Yes! The MRI's magnets can also break your glasses.
Contact lenses are okay because they don’t have metal.
Doctors have special plastic glasses you can wear if you need to see during the MRI.
Always tell your doctor about anything you're wearing, including glasses.
Doctors will help you prepare safely, so you don't need to worry!
