Prescription Safety Glasses FAQs
Can prescription safety glasses be polarized?
While prescription safety glasses can be coated for polarized lenses, we do not recommend them. LCD screens, which are commonly used in work environments where safety is important, can be difficult to read with polarized lenses. The coating on polarized lenses and LCD screens work against each other, making the screen appear very dark.
What type of protection does Z87 offer?
The Z87 standard is for safety glasses that have been tested for impact. This standard does not have anything to do with polarization, blocking UV rays, or resisting chemicals. The “+” designation next to Z87 means that your eyewear has been tested for high impact. “Z87-2” is used for prescription lenses.
What other types of labels are there for safety eyewear?
It’s important to buy safety eyewear that is rated for use in the type of environments you work in. Other labels include: “D3” – resistance to chemical droplets, “D4” – resistance to chemical splash, “D5” – protection from fine dust, “W” – eyewear for welding, “U” – ultraviolet protection, and “R” – protection from infrared light.
Are prescription and safety eyewear the same?
Generally, prescription glasses and safety glasses aren't the same things, which is why prescription safety glasses are necessary. The main difference comes from the types of materials used to make lenses. Prescription eyewear corrects vision, while safety glasses resist or protect against various hazards.
Are prescription safety glasses necessary under a welding helmet?
While there are helmets that have auto-darkening features that are good for your eyesight, wearing prescription safety glasses offers protection and vision-correcting features. Wearing your prescription lenses along with the welding helmet is the best way to protect your eyes while welding.

ULTIMATE EYE SAFETY FOR PROTECTION
High Impact Rating
The American National Standard Institute establishes various standards when it comes to safety for the items we use. People who work in environments that include impact hazards need to be confident that their safety eyewear can hold up to these standards. A rating of ANSI Z87+ shows that a set of prescription safety glasses has gone through multiple tests. To earn this rating, a set of lenses are tested for penetration, fracture, and retention after a 1.125-pound object is dropped. Other tests include dart penetration and shattering. Prescription safety glasses that are ANSI Z87+ offer this protection in a vision-correcting design.
The Right Fit
The function and corrective features of your prescription safety glasses can be compromised with frames that don't fit properly. An improper fit can lead to eye strain, headaches, discomfort, and other negative impacts on your vision. When shopping for prescription safety glasses, it's important to note the dimensions, particularly the width of the lens, the width of the bridge, and the length of the temple. The bridge width is the shortest distance between your lenses. The temple length is the distance between the hinge and the tip on each temple arm. These dimensions are good starting points for prescription safety glasses. The shape of your face and the distance between your pupils are other important factors. Properly fitting prescription safety glasses don't just look and perform great. They feel great also.
RX Ready
There was a time when prescription safety glasses were thick, blocky, and lacking concerning fashion and style.

Learn How Prescription Safety Glasses Are Made
CONCEPTUALIZING & DESIGNING
Frames are drawn and designed using computer software. A prototype is created for approval.
FRAME MOLDERING & COLORING
Using state-of-the-art injection machinery frames are molded. Frames that need special finishes go through the water transfer process.
LENS PRODUCTION
Using granular materials, lenses are moulded and manufactured according to safety requirements. Some lenses are dip-coated with anti-fog and anti-scratch coating.
FRAME AND LENS TESTING
Frames and Lenses are put through rigorous testing standards and guidelines based on real-world possibilities.
LENS FITTING & PACKAGING
Lenses are snapped into place and put in a box ready for shipping.
Materials Used to Make Safety Lenses & Frames
Polycarbonate – Excellent Impact Resistance, Lightweight & UV Protection
NXT & Trivex – Excellent Impact Resistance, Optical Clarity & Lightweight
Acrylic – Cheap, Lighter Than Glass & Resistant To Solvents
Glass – Excellent Scratch Protection & Optical Clarity
Safety eyewear frames must be more durable and sturdy than a frame style for regular eyewear. Safety frames are made of different shatter-resistant materials depending on the application and sometimes include side shields. For example, sports eyewear usually have nylon frames because they are lightweight and flexible.
Different Types Of Safety Glasses
PRESCRIPTION SAFETY GLASSESPrescription safety glasses crafted for specific places and lighting, all of them are rigorously tested to assure protection from blunt impact, small dust particles, splashes and droplets, and radiation.
SPORTS GLASSES
Sports Glasses are made in a variety of shapes and sizes. Many are designed for racquet sports and are available for basketball and soccer.
Shooting Glasses are specialized corrective glasses for use in shooting and are used almost exclusively in sport shooting competitions.
How Are They Tested?

Rx safety glasses must meet standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Look for the Z87 mark on the lens or frame.
How to Clean Your Prescription Safety Glasses
Perform Maintenance Care
People need to inspect their lenses regularly to ensure their vision remains un-compromised. Dirty lenses can reduce vision while severely scratched lenses can cause them to crack and break. Prescription safety glasses with headbands can increase the risk of the wearer sustaining an eye injury if they are soaked with sweat, worn out due to excessive use, or have lost their grip to stay in place. If the headband has lost its elasticity, people should not continue using it, as it can slip out of place in the middle of work and result in an injury.
Dust off Any Debris and Dirt from the Prescription Safety Goggles
If the protective eyewear passes the initial inspection, workers need to know the steps to clean prescription safety glasses next, starting from dusting off any debris and dirt found on them. Wearers can rinse their protective eyewear underwater or use a cleaning solution, specially designed to clean lenses.
Employers may provide their workers with a cleaning solution, but athletes will need to purchase it. For instance, cleaning motorcycle goggles will require motorcyclists to carry a cleaning solution. To dry the lenses, use a microfiber cloth. It removes streaks and residue left from the cleaning solution.
Rinse Safety Goggles Using Lukewarm Water
Wearers should clean their Rx safety glasses under lukewarm water. They can either submerge the protective eyewear in water or place it under running water in the sink. This will clear off any leftover debris and dust from the frames and the lenses. Wearers can also clean the safety goggles with purified water kept at room temperature, especially if the water from the sink is not safe to drink.Use a Toothbrush to Clean the Safety Frames
To clean the frames, use a toothbrush with soft bristles. Do not place a lot of pressure on the toothbrush, as it can scratch the lenses. Do not use a shop rag, paper towel, shirt, or facial tissue to clean the lenses. The fabrics, although soft to the touch, contain coarse fibers that can graze the lenses. Moreover, these objects may contain traces of fabric softeners, detergents, dust, and dirt particles. Using them, can damage the lenses of the Rx safety glasses, causing scratches.
Use Microfiber Bag to Clean the Safety Lenses
An extra step to take to ensure the safety goggles remain in good condition is to clean them using a microfiber bag. Use the inside of the bag to clean the eyewear, as the outside of the bag may have collected debris, dirt, or other impurities with time. Make it a point to clean the microfiber pouches and any cleaning cloths used to clean the prescription safety glasses. If possible, invest in more than one microfiber cloth or other cleaning materials used to wipe the lenses.
Use the cleaning cloth with a type of solution, as using it alone can cause significant damage to the safety goggles. In addition, wearers need to follow the directions provided with the prescription safety glasses upon purchasing. The manufacturer may have stated another and more specific method to clean the protective eyewear.
Place Protective Safety Eyewear in a Glasses Case
After use, place the prescription safety glasses in a glasses case that came with it. In doing so, it will protect the safety goggle from sustaining any scratches. Wearers can store them in a microfiber pouch or an eyeglass case. Make sure the case has a hard exterior. Other containers to place safety goggles in include a plastic envelope, dust-proof container, bag, or box. Before placing the eyewear inside the case, make sure to clean it using the steps described here. People with prescription eyewear need to follow the same aforementioned steps for cleaning prescription safety glasses. Establish a cleaning routine after each workday or each athletic activity that requires you to wear protective eyewear.
