Prescription Safety Glasses: Your Complete Guide

If you need prescription glasses and work in situations that pose risks to your eyes, you should wear prescription safety glasses to protect your eyes from dirt, debris, chemicals and other airborne hazards.

And don’t settle for cheap safety glasses. Prescription safety glasses give you the clarity of vision you get from your usual prescription glasses, with the added protection of high-quality safety glasses.

Prescription safety glasses are traditional safety glasses made with your prescription lenses. Plus they also meet Australian safety standards.

SafeStyle safeties are stylish safety glasses that can accommodate prescriptions AND they’re comfortable. See Optometry are now stocking this Australian made range of safeties.

Everyday prescription glasses cannot be used as safety glasses as they do not meet safety specifications or certifications to protect your eyes.

Your safety glasses should be ones that have been tested and certified for medium impact protection. This means they can stand up to tough punishment with no penetration. If something heavy flies up and hits you in the eye, your eyes are safe.

In Australia, side protection is mandatory on safety glasses, which standard prescription glasses don’t have.

Prescription safety glasses are designed to protect your eyes from anything the worksite can throw at you, whilst also giving you crystal clear vision.

There are some safety glasses you can wear over your prescription glasses, called Over Glasses, Fit Over Safety Glasses, or ‘Overs’. But these are not your best option as they are cumbersome, ugly and often uncomfortable to wear all day. They’re handy if you don’t need to wear safety glasses regularly and they can be a quick 5-minute solution for eye protection.

But for those who need safety glasses every day, prescription safety glasses are by far the best option. They’ll be more comfortable, offer better clarity of vision and, if you choose the right pair, will look far better.
