Prescription Safety Glasses Online
Clear vision is crucial for safety. Prescription safety glasses combine durable physical eye protection with precise vision correction. Start by selecting a pair of frames that are rated for conditions on a work site or in any other environment in which you need to see clearly while protecting your eyes.
Correct Vision for Safety
Whether you work under hazardous conditions or play impact sports, it is crucial that your eyes remain protected while your vision is corrected. Prescription safety eyewear combines the benefits of clearer vision with impact resistance and many other protective features. Narrow down the available options by making sure that the diopters of prescription lenses are compatible with the frame style. Most frames are also available with single vision, bifocal or progressive (no line) lenses.
High RX prescriptions with a cylinder measurement exceeding +/- 2.50 or a sphere exceeding +/- 5.0 may not be suitable for wraparound frames. The shape of these frames can distort vision. Some glasses styles are available with a prescription rim system to accommodate diopters that exceed +/- 3.5 degrees. Most lenses are available with standard or Digital HD surfacing.
Durable Eye Protection
The most durable frames are made of plastic or metal and have shatterproof lenses. The American National Standards Institute and other regulatory bodies perform rigorous testing of eyewear and assign safety ratings. Glasses with the ANSI Z87 rating have passed a basic impact test in which a steel ball with a one-inch diameter is dropped on a lens from a height of 50 inches. The Z87+ rating indicates that eyewear mounted on a head form has passed high mass and velocity testing.
In the past, the lenses in Z87 prescription safety glasses were required to be at least 3 millimetres thick. Thinner and lighter prescription lenses that pass impact testing are now permitted. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and international standards organizations also maintain safety ratings for eyewear.
The American National Standards Institute approves requirements for safety glasses and other personal protective equipment. ANSI prescription safety glasses are tested for durability in the event of an impact and maybe rated to prevent other risks. The Z87.1 standard for Occupational and Educational Personal Eye and Face Protection Devices applies to corrective safety eyewear.
Eye Protection Ratings
ANSI assigns eyewear safety ratings based on performance during testing. Prescription safety glasses that withstand impact from a steel ball one inch in diameter that weighs approximately 2.4 ounces falling from a height of 50 inches satisfy requirements for the Z87 standard. Any applicable standards are indicated in markings on the frames and lenses of safety eyewear.
Safety glasses that have a Z87+ rating have undergone and passed high mass and high-velocity tests. A high mass test involves dropping a pointed weight that is slightly over one pound on glasses mounted on a head form from a height of about 50 inches. A steel ball that measures a quarter-inch in diameter is shot at 20 impact points on eyewear at over 100 miles per hour during high-velocity testing.
Stylish Safety Glasses at Australia Glasses
The primary purpose of safety glasses is eye protection, but these frames and lenses can also be flattering. Frame materials range from plastic to metal and a large selection of shapes and colours is available. Choose from many styles when selecting ANSI prescription safety glasses that are compatible with the necessary lens diopters and protection standards.
Shop Z87 frames and lenses from brands such as 3M, Hudson Optical, Global Vision, OnGuard and Uvex. When considering frames, check the measurements to achieve the best fit and clearest vision. Wraparound frames may not be the best option for strong prescriptions, as the profile of these glasses can cause distortion. Many frame shapes are available, as are designed with features such as side shields that can block lateral impact hazards.
Prescription Safety Glasses Australia FAQs
Why should you wear prescription safety glasses?
Clear vision and physical eye protection are essential for safety on job sites or in environments where impact or other injury risks may be present. Safety eyewear provides all-in-one protection without the need to layer correction and protection or use inserts. Select frames and lenses that meet relevant safety standards.
What standards should safety eyewear meet?
The general safety standard for impact is ANSI Z87.1, which was updated in 2015. The OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133(b)(2) eye protection standard for general industry references ANSI Z87 standards, as does the International Safety Equipment Association. EN 166 is the European personal eye protection safety standard.
Will your prescription fit any pair of frames?
The base curve of frames can determine whether lenses with high diopters or prescription powers fit. Safety glasses frames are available with either a 6-Base or 8-Base curve. If you have a high-power prescription, you may want to avoid wraparound frames. Check to see whether frames are high RX compatible.
What are the best frame materials for safety eyewear?
Safety eyewear is available with polycarbonate plastic or metal frames. If you work with high voltage electricity, the materials in your eyewear should be non-conductive. This means that frames should not be metal and should not contain any metal components. Otherwise, look for frames rated for any relevant safety hazards.
Can you get prescription safety glasses with multi-focal or progressive lenses?
Many styles of prescription safety glasses online are available with options for bifocal, multifocal or progressive lenses. Check to make sure that the lens type you choose has the necessary safety rating. You may also be able to select lens options such as Premium Progressive lenses with Digital HD surfacing.
What is ANSI?
The American National Standards Institute is a private non-profit organization that oversees and grants accreditation to standards committees and projects. These conformity standards are voluntary and must be updated at least every five years to remain current. ANSI represents the United States in the International Organization for Standardization or ISO.
How does eyewear meet the ANSI Z87 standard?
ANSI Z87.1 prescription safety glasses must pass an impact test. Eyewear that meets this standard may also protect eyes from droplets or splashes and dust. A D3 marking indicates protection from droplets and splashes. Eyewear rated D4 protects eyes from dust, and a D5 rating is for fine dust.
What do the other markings on eyewear and lenses mean?
In addition to the Z87, Z87+ and D ratings, safety eyewear may have other markings. Markings of W, U, R, L, V or S indicate protection from different types of optical radiation. Impact-rated ANSI prescription safety glasses may be marked with Z87-2+ on the frame and a plus symbol on lenses.
How does ANSI Z87.1 compare to other safety standards?
The ANSI Z87.1 standard is referenced in the 29 CFR 1910.133(b)(2) federal standard set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration in the United States. The Z87.1 standard also overlaps with the International Safety Equipment Association Standard. The European personal eye protection standard is EN 166.
How can you tell if frames are right for your prescription?
The best way to determine whether frames are a good match with your prescription is to check the base curve. Some wraparound frame styles can cause distortion when paired with a powerful prescription. Many Z87 prescription safety glasses are compatible with a wide range of diopters, including high RX lenses.
