However, if you cannot see what you are looking for, do not hesitate to contact our friendly sales team; they will help you find a product to suit your needs from our extended catalogue if necessary.

When to Wear Safety Glasses

Safety eyewear as a whole, including glasses, safety goggles and face shields, should be worn whenever carrying out an activity that could pose a risk to the safety of your eyes. Safety glasses are used explicitly for applications where you need to protect your eyes from low-energy impacts, typically those generated by hand tools. Below we have included a simple reference grid to help you determine if you should purchase safety glasses or consider an alternative such as goggles or a face shield.

Standard Safety Spectacles

Our range of standard safety spectacles can be worn with contact lenses but are incompatible with prescription glasses. They all have a “wrap around” format to protect your eyes from the front and sides.

Overspecs

Overspec glasses are designed to be worn over standard prescription glasses. They offer the same protection as our standard safety glasses, with a profile that encloses your normal specs, ensuring your eyes are protected from the sides and the front.

Helmet-Mounted Glasses

These are specially designed to mount onto compatible safety helmets (you can find details of which helmets on their product page). They are also available in smoke and clear lens tints for indoor and outdoor use. Which shade you require will depend on your requirements.

There is a multitude of protective coatings and lens colours to choose from when buying safety glasses. We have put together this simple guide that should help speed up your decision-making process, helping you find the right solution for your requirements.

All Lens Shade Suffixes

Lens Shade		Function
Clear		Suitable for applications where good colour recognition is required.
Indoor / Outdoor		With a reflective coating, this slightly brown-tinted lens is excellent for forklift drivers transitioning between indoor and outdoor environments throughout the day.
Smoke		These are ideal for use outside, where the tint reduces bright sun glare and eye strain.
Polarised		This coating prevents reflections from causing glare, ideal for driving or working around bodies of water.
Yellow		Blocks blue light and helps to improve the contrast and sharpness of vision. Contrary to popular myths, these are unsuitable for driving at night.
