Protective Eyewear for Workers Who Need Corrective Lenses

By John Sprovieri
Brass Knuckle Read protective eyewear
October 5, 2023

A worker who wears corrective lenses is not exempt from wearing proper eye protection. Typical corrective eyeglasses don’t provide the necessary impact and side protection of work-grade spectacles and goggles. These workers could wear over-the-glasses protective eyewear. Brass Knuckle Read protective eyewear is a less bulky, more comfortable alternative.

The glasses are great-fitting, cost-effective, and lightweight. Bifocal eye protection available in five diopter strengths: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0. A durable polycarbonate frame provides extra side protection and all-day comfort. The clear lenses are ANSI-rated hard-coated polycarbonate with BK-Anti-FOG. BK-Anti-FOG lasts a full two minutes, 15 times longer than European EN 166/168 standard requires. It is permanently bonded to the lens, will not wear off or wash off, and retains its anti-scratch, anti-static, and UV protection properties.

The number of Americans between the ages of 55 and 64 in the workplace will increase by nearly 44 percent over the next decade. These workers will continue to read gauges and valve settings, set machinery controls, and monitor production screens on the plant floor. They will calibrate, cut, and tune. And they will take their protective eyewear off and slide on their readers to make this close work easier. This eyewear prevents that from happening.
