Prescription Safety Glasses
If you need safety glasses for your work, AND, you have a prescription, you will need prescription safety glasses. Safety glasses are often considered to be a standard form of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) in many industries. After all, they help keep employees and contractors safe. Failure to wear them could lead to a range of complications, including partial or complete vision loss.
However, should you already wear prescription glasses - this may mean that goggles are required. Prescription safety glasses can replace regular safety goggles in certain situations.
Why is Prescription Safety Eyewear necessary?
In most working environments, the employer must ensure that every member of staff is safe at work, and this may include eyewear to prevent eye injuries. While occupational safety standards are maintained through proper training, PPE, such as protective safety eyewear (or prescription glasses), plays a pivotal role.
Government Guidelines.
The occupational health and safety guidelines, curated by the US Department of labour, dictate that employees must be presented with PPE including protective eyewear that offers eye or face protection when:
>> Exposed to hazards from "flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapours, or potentially injurious light radiation".
>> Exposed to hazards from "flying objects."
However, these regulations also take into account that many people working in these environments will already be wearing some form of safety frame eyewear - after all, around 64% of the world's population wears glasses. As such, the guidelines state that affected employees should wear eye protection "that incorporates the prescription in its design, or wears eye protection that can be worn over the prescription lenses without disturbing the proper position of the prescription lenses or the protective lenses." Your regular prescription glasses with a regular prescription lens may not protect you in certain environments.
The American National Standards Institute also sets certain standards regarding eye protection. For example, safety eyewear must:
> Feature dust protection.
> Feature a visible light filter.
> Feature drops and splash protection.
> Be impact-resistant and shatterproof.
What are the different types of prescription safety glasses?
Prescription lenses can be incorporated into any form of protective eyewear by installing a safety lens. However, you must ensure that the safety eyewear meets certain standards, depending on the environment it will be used in. Many frames are made of plastic which does not require nose pads; nose pads on metal frames can cut your skin more easily than the plastic frame in the case of a blunt force hit to the face.
Many forms of protective eyewear are tinted to make sunglasses. This is to provide you with UV protection, whether you're working outdoors or inside. Different industries will have different requirements for the 'minimum protective shade' that can be used. For example, according to the Occupational Safety Guidelines, if employees are carrying out torch soldering duties, the minimum protective shade for their lens coatings is 2.At RsSafetyCa.com, we provide our customers with access to a wide range of high-quality, vetted safety glasses.

Polycarbonate Lenses
Polycarbonate lenses are most often used in environments where protective glasses are required. A polycarbonate lens can be used in many different situations and can support clear lenses or corrective lenses for patients with a vision-impaired profile,
Progressive Safety Glasses.Progressive Safety Glasses are designed to support people whose day-to-day work is varied. Progressive lenses, like single vision lenses, are often covered by your insurance company. For example, they allow you to carry out close-up tasks, such as taking notes and anything that requires 'distance vision', such as observing the factory floor, without having to switch glasses. They are sometimes referred to as 'no line' bifocals.
Transition Safety Glasses.
Should your employees be required to work in both indoor and outdoor environments, Transition safety lenses in eyewear frames are a necessity. Our transition safety glasses contain photochromic lenses, which are clear when indoors but will darken when exposed to UV light/radiation. They provide unparalleled UV protection. This again means that employees can work seamlessly wherever they are needed - without putting their health and safety at risk. Shooting glasses are often outfitted with Transitions lenses, to protect against eye injury.
Bifocal Safety Glasses.
Bifocal eyeglasses are also an incredibly popular. They function in the same way as progressive lenses, only their design is slightly different. This means they can be used for both up=close and distanced work, providing optical clarity for all
Safety Glass Lenses.
RxSafetyCa.com is one of the very few stores that sell glass lenses. Prescription glass lenses may be recommended by your doctor for environments where this risk is due to splashing chemicals. Plastic lenses may not protect properly from industrial chemicals, but glass lenses may.
The lens material used varies, but we often opt for a polycarbonate or high index lens in non-chemical environments. This is a lightweight yet strong form of plastic. This lens type is known for its durability and high-impact protection.As discussed above, there are a range of specific lens types to choose from, such as single-vision lenses and bifocals
Safety Glasses Frames.
We've also got a wide range of prescription safety glasses frames available on our site. More than a stylistic choice, our frames are designed to be highly practical and durable. As such, we sell some of the best prescription safety glasses - all of which meet the most rigid of safety standards.

After all, you're going to be wearing the prescription glasses for hours at a time, meaning you've got to be comfortable!What are the benefits of wearing prescription safety glasses?
There are many benefits associated with wearing prescription safety glasses. For example:
> Employees and individuals are protected from a variety of hazards when wearing prescription safety goggles, such as exposure to chemicals or flying objects.> Employees can continue to carry out their daily duties without dealing with vision impairment or having to go without their regular prescription eyewear.
> Businesses where employees wear the proper safety glasses (or safety lenses) are abiding by both the occupational safety guidelines and the American national standards institute.
> Businesses, where employees' safety is valued are more productive, with better rates of efficiency and employee retention.

However, this does not necessarily mean you have to buy new glasses entirely, as you can simply swap out the lenses.
