Same craze for radioactive vintage lenses.

For cameras or prescription glasses??? If it’s the latter- it’s literally too close for comfort.

For cameras, usually those use thoriated glass due to its high refractive index. Radioactivity level is too low for even slightest damage as thorium dioxide mostly emits alpha particles that is easily blocked. There are urban legends about radioactive lenses causing fogging of the film inside a camera if left mounted for few years but I couldn't verify them.

One large problem with thoriated glass lenses is that they tend to lose transparency. See the "Radiation browning" section of parent's first link.

I have a 35mm Nikkor with thoriated glass. It has a slight yellow tint that’s easily corrected in post.
