They are essential items of personal protective equipment that are a must-have at every workplace for a safer experience. As these items are very widely used, a question that must be uppermost in your mind is how do I choose the right pair of prescription safety glasses online in Canada? The answer is that when choosing these eyewear items, you need to pick something that suits your style and which is suitable for the purpose for which you are going to use them.
Prescription Safety Glasses Online Canada
Clear vision is crucial for safety. Prescription safety glasses combine durable physical eye protection with precise vision correction. Start by selecting a pair of frames that are rated for conditions on a work site or in any other environment in which you need to see clearly while protecting your eyes.
Correct Vision for Safety
Whether you work under hazardous conditions or play impact sports, your eyes must remain protected while your vision is corrected. Prescription safety eyewear combines the benefits of clearer vision with impact resistance and many other protective features. Narrow down the available options by making sure that the diopters of prescription lenses are compatible with the frame style. Most frames are also available with single-vision, bifocal or progressive (no line) lenses.
High RX prescriptions with a cylinder measurement exceeding +/- 2.50 or a sphere exceeding +/- 5.0 may not be suitable for wraparound frames. The shape of these frames can distort vision. Some glasses styles are available with a prescription rim system to accommodate diopters that exceed +/- 3.5 degrees. Most lenses are available with standard or Digital HD surfacing.
Durable Eye Protection
The most durable frames are made of plastic or metal and have shatterproof lenses. The American National Standards Institute and other regulatory bodies perform rigorous testing of eyewear and assign safety ratings. Glasses with the ANSI Z87 rating have passed a basic impact test in which a steel ball with a one-inch diameter is dropped on a lens from a height of 50 inches. The Z87+ rating indicates that eyewear mounted on a head form has passed high mass and velocity testing.
In the past, the lenses in ANSI Z87 prescription safety glasses were required to be at least 3 millimeters thick. Thinner and lighter prescription lenses that pass impact testing are now permitted. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and international standards organizations also maintain safety ratings for eyewear.
Prescription Safety Glasses Canada FAQs
What factors do I need to consider when choosing prescription safety glasses?
When the time comes to choose your RX safety glasses, the number one consideration is getting the prescription right. Only if you get the right prescription can you be sure that you won't have to compromise your vision which is such an important factor for eye integrity. The wrong prescription can prove to be a dangerous thing for your eyesight and so when deciding on your next pair, you need to factor this in at the very beginning.
The next thing that you need to consider is the purpose for which you want to use your prescription safety glasses. There are many different jobs and hobbies for which you may be needing these eyewear items. For example, you may need safety glasses for laboratory work and you may need them to protect your eyes against chemical splashes or dangerous radiation. The good news is that there are eyewear items that are made for particular purposes.
Certain types of prescription safety glasses are available with different additions like UV protection or infrared protection. You need to buy a pair that protects your vision and which can withstand the force of small particles travelling at high speeds in the direction of your eyes. A pair with certain markings such as "F, B, A or T" shows that the safety glasses can withstand the force of projectiles even at high temperatures. Such a pair would protect your eyes well and is worth choosing.
When the time comes to choose your RX safety glasses, lenses are a very important factor. You can choose between digital single-vision lenses, lined bifocals, and progressive bifocals. You should also choose safety glasses for men that are durable and tough and which can withstand impacts. Make sure that you also buy a pair that has the right lens colour and lens coatings.
If you need to wear our safety glasses in bright light conditions, then choose a pair with high-contrast lenses. If you are working in bright daylight, then go with grey or neutral base lenses that reduce glare. For those who work indoors and outdoors, the best pair is one with transition lenses. The best frame and lens material is polycarbonate as it is shatterproof, light and impact resistant.
As for frames, you should pick a pair with plastic frames, especially those that are made with acetate material as they can withstand impacts and will not break easily. For prescription safety glasses for work, you should opt for those with a wraparound frame as it provides good protection to the temples from dangerous materials and objects and complete peripheral vision.
How much should I spend on my new prescription safety glasses?
Price is a very important consideration when choosing prescription safety glasses in Canada. It affects your choice and one thing that needs to be kept in mind is that you should not be tempted into buying a very cheap pair unless it is of good quality. There is also no sense in paying hundreds of dollars for a costly pair when a more affordable pair can do the same job of protecting your vision. For your safety, it is a good idea for you to shop for your safety glasses at a verified seller who sells high-quality safety eyewear. Typically, it would help if you did not have to spend a lot of money on your new glasses. The type of lens and frame material used in the eyewear will affect the price you have to pay.
When is it necessary to wear prescription safety glasses?
Certain workplaces mandate the use of prescription safety glasses. If your workplace does this, then you may be supplied with a pair by your employer. These are sure to be appropriate for your workplace. The good news is that there are plenty of options available for you and you can pick one that suits your circumstances and which provides the right amount of eye protection and visual clarity.
The bottom line is that when shopping for either women's or men's prescription safety glasses, you should pick a pair that has ANSI certification. If you have a strong prescription then you should opt for a pair with high-index lenses as these lenses reduce lens thickness by bending light better than regular lenses.
Choosing the right prescription safety glasses can be quite a daunting task unless you know how to choose the right pair. There are many options regarding lenses and frames and so, make sure that you use the tips mentioned above to help you find the right pair. Rx Safety Glasses Canada is a great place to shop for your RX safety eyewear. Their prices are low and the quality of lenses and frames is very high. So, be sure to check them out.
Why should you wear prescription safety glasses?
Clear vision and physical eye protection are essential for safety on job sites or in environments where impact or other injury risks may be present. Safety eyewear provides all-in-one protection without the need to layer correction and protection or use inserts. Select frames and lenses that meet relevant safety standards.
What standards should safety eyewear meet?
The general safety standard for impact is ANSI Z87.1, which was updated in 2015. The OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133(b)(2) eye protection standard for general industry references ANSI Z87 standards, as does the International Safety Equipment Association. EN 166 is the European personal eye protection safety standard.
Will your prescription fit any pair of frames?
The base curve of frames can determine whether lenses with high diopters or prescription powers fit. Safety glasses frames are available with either a 6-Base or 8-Base curve. If you have a high-power prescription, you may want to avoid wraparound frames. Check to see whether frames are high RX compatible.
What are the best frame materials for safety eyewear?
Safety eyewear is available with polycarbonate plastic or metal frames. If you work with high-voltage electricity, the materials in your eyewear should be non-conductive. This means that frames should not be metal and should not contain any metal components. Otherwise, look for frames rated for any relevant safety hazards.
Can you get prescription safety glasses with multi-focal or progressive lenses?
Many styles of prescription safety glasses online are available with options for bifocal, multi-focal or progressive lenses. Check to make sure that the lens type you choose has the necessary safety rating. You may also be able to select lens options such as Premium Progressive lenses with Digital HD surfacing.
