How To Choose Prescription Safety Glasses and Sunglasses

Keeping your eyes safe is a must for people who work in potentially dangerous environments, or love a good DIY project at home. And if you wear prescription glasses on your day to day, prescription safety glasses are just as important.But with so many options out there, how do you pick the perfect pair that keeps your eyes safe and your vision clear? Keep reading to find out

1. Choose a frame that fits the job.

Safety glasses come in many shapes, sizes, materials, and functional designs. 

• When choosing a frame, consider what you’ll be using them for and ensure they meet the necessary certifications for your work or activity, be it safety glasses or sunglasses, goggles, or whether they’ve got side shields.

• Look for glasses that have high impact resistance, complying with OSHA standards and ANSI Z87- ANSI Z87.1 or ANSI Z87-2 requirements, with the latter indicating the frames can accommodate prescription lenses.

• Don’t worry, you won’t have to sacrifice style for safety. With a wide range of options available in various shapes, colors, sizes and brands (including Oakley, Wiley X and Pentax), you can find a pair that fits your face comfortably while looking great on the job.

• And it’s more than just style. It’s important to get maximum coverage from your safety glasses, and with the risk of sounding redundant, it’s important that you feel comfortable with safety glasses while you’re working. 

2. Select your lenses.

Once you’ve got a frame picked out, it’s time to select lenses, enter your prescription and customize the lenses per your needs.

• Prescription type: Make sure the safety glasses you want are Rx-eligible, but not just that. Some safety glasses (Especially the extra curved ones) might be eligible only for single-vision (for near or far) and not progressives, while others are eligible for progressive prescriptions.

• Polycarbonate vs Trivex: Our safety glasses are available with polycarbonate or Trivex lenses, as well as different coatings and thickness levels to choose from. Trivex lenses are known for their lightweight and impact-resistance, providing superior optical clarity and better resistance to scratches. Polycarbonate lenses are a very popular choice due to their impact-resistance and durability. They are slightly heavier than Trivex lenses, and provide excellent protection from potential eye injuries and flying debris.

• Further customization: Blue light protection, light-adaptive lenses for those who constantly switch between indoors and outdoors. For sunglasses, you can select tinted lenses, as well as mirror or polarized lenses
