Statistically, more than 60% of the working population wears prescription glasses. The most comfortable and effective solution to this need is: prescription safety spectacles.<\/p>\n

The eye protection glasses available on the market can prevent the different risks to which the worker may be exposed. Therefore, a correct analysis of the conditions and risks of the work will determine a good choice of eye protection.<\/p>\n

If we use prescription lenses, we have two alternatives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wear over-goggles over our usual frames.<\/li>\n
  2. Order safety glasses with prescription lenses<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Which is the best option? Here are the differences between the two options.<\/p>\n

    Safety goggles<\/h2>\n

    Safety goggles are intended for occasional, non-continuous use.<\/p>\n

    There are several reasons for this. Firstly, an impact on the over-goggle can be transmitted to the prescription glasses, causing a risk of breakage. Secondly, wearing 2 glasses for 8 hours is very uncomfortable for the worker, both because of the weight and the glare caused by the double lens. But if you only need protection at certain times, over-goggles are a very good choice because they can be placed over the prescription glasses you are already wearing.<\/p>\n

    The lenses are made of polycarbonate material giving them a high impact resistance and are non-prescription.<\/p>\n
