Safety Reading Glasses

Manufacturers of safety reading glasses and safety prescription glasses are required by law to meet certain standards that measure the lens material ability to withstand impact. These standards are set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and are referred to in regulations set forth by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). According to OSHA regulations, manufacturers must certify that their products meet the American National Standards Institute for Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection. These types of regulations protect workers by ensuring that their safety gear actually provides protection. Many employees, such as welders and other construction workers, rely on safety glasses to protect their eyes from injuries. These employees experience more daily risk to their eyes than, say, teachers or accountants. To aid in visual acuity, safety reading glasses can be purchased at various prescription levels. This allows employees to replace regular eyeglasses with safer alternatives or to wear protective eyewear with contact lenses.

For an aging population, the convenience of providing impact-resistant protective eyeglasses that include a prescription element is obvious. These eyeglasses can even be purchased as bifocals so that the employee can see both at a distance and close up without switching or removing the protective eyeglasses. A person's vision changes as he gets older. It's not unusual for someone who had perfect vision as a young adult to need reading eyeglasses or bifocals during middle age. This can be a frustrating situation. However, the development of ANSI-certified safety reading glasses allows the aging individual to adjust to the aging process without it affecting his job performance. The readers act as magnifiers so that the person can easily read fine print or work with small objects such as wires. Getting older has its disadvantages, but also its blessings. Even so, young people should heed the wise words of King Solomon: "Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment" (Ecclesiastes 11:9).

Many safety reading glasses are made from polycarbonate and can be clear or tinted in a variety of shades. Clear lenses are designed for indoor use, but a clear lens with a slight mirror coating can be worn both indoors and outdoors. Other tints, such as gray or brown, are best for outdoor use. Some manufacturers provide other mirrored options in gold, blue, or silver tints. These are also best for outdoor use. A dark green tint often cuts down on glare. Other shades are specifically designed to maximize color contrast. Individuals who work with molten metals can also find lenses that are specifically tinted to enhance vision for soldering and cutting. Lenses that are manufactured as anti-fog are especially important for those that work in environments with high humidity. Anti-scratch and anti-static lenses are also available. Consumers should also look for lenses that provide a high percentage of UVA and UVB protection. The frames of safety reading glasses should come with side shields to provide further protection the eyes from dust and other particles. Lightweight frames are often preferable and more comfortable to wear than heavier frames.

There are many online companies selling a wide range of prescription and bifocal protective eyewear. Purchasing managers for large businesses and small business owners can easily research and evaluate different vendors to find the best one to meet their needs. The purchaser can use several factors for evaluating vendors. The purchaser's criteria may include such factors as shipping costs, delivery times, the level of customer service that is provided, and whether discounts are offered for buying in bulk. Some vendors offer an imprinting service so that a company name can be imprinted on the safety reading glasses. An additional service like this may distinguish one vendor from another. It's very important that the vendor's contact information is readily accessible on the website. This information should include a street address and a phone number. The purchaser may want to call the number to see whether the person answering the phone is friendly and helpful. Obviously, the protective eyewear that is listed for sale should be ANSI certified. It's not worth any monetary savings to purchase inferior safety products for employees. In fact, doing so is unconscionable whether the product is protective eyewear or some other protective item, such as hard hats.

For many laborers, especially those who are older, safety reading glasses provide both protection and visual acuity. Both features are important for people who work at jobs, such as welding, painting, and construction, where eye injuries may happen. There are many choices in both frames and lenses so that customers should easily find protective eyewear to meet their particular needs. In summary, common features are UV protection and side shields. A variety of tints are designed for different purposes, both for indoor and outdoor labor, to reduce glare, and to enhance color contrast. Both bifocal and prescription lenses are available. Reputable vendors are willing to answer questions, to provide additional information on their products' resistance to impact, and to handle any ordering problems that arise. The purchase of safety reading glasses, whether for individual purposes or to protect company employees, is made easier because of the strict OSHA regulations that require ANSI certification. Any legitimate manufacturer is going to follow these regulations.
