Everything you need to know about buying, maintaining and making the most from the EYRES safety glasses for your business.

EYRES can accommodate prescriptions within the range of -10 to +8 sphere and 4 cylinders in our Certified Safety Glasses. Depending on the Pupillary Distance (PD) and frame models, specific prescriptions may not be suitable for certain EYRES frames.

EYRES prescription lenses bear the EYRES logo, along with all the markings denoting compliance with AS/NZS1337.6, EN166, and ANSI Z87.1 prescription and non-prescription standards for your country/region.

The prescription lenses in EYRES frames are made of Shamir Polycarbonate, 1,67 (with Shamir Metaform™ Technology /Rx-insert) or Trivex.

In many working environments, it is possible to simply provide the appropriate over-specs to glasses wearers, but these are not recommended to be provided as a long-term solution for employees requiring regular usage, as they will not provide suitable comfort levels due to the effect of light refraction through two sets of lenses, and the more obvious physical discomfort of supporting two sets of frames.

While typical certification standards (such as in Europe, USA, Australia) mandate

workplace safety, it doesn’t mean the workplaces are hazard-free environments.

Instead, companies must furnish equipment and training for employee protection.

Safety glasses exemplify this; employers must ensure proper eye protection for

workers exposed to potential hazards. Specifically, employees working where there

are the following substances must wear safety glasses:

 

Flying particles

Molten metal

Liquid chemicals

Acids or caustic liquids

Chemical gases or vapors

Potentially injurious light radiation

Generally, prescription glasses differ from safety eyeglasses. They are often made of various plastic and metal materials, while safety glasses are constructed with more durable materials. Safety glasses are explicitly designed to provide enhanced eye and impact protection.
