How Should Safety Glasses Fit?
Since these glasses are intended to be worn all day for adequate protection, they need to fit comfortably. The weight of the glasses should be distributed evenly between the ears and nose, so the frames sit comfortably around the face for a light, barely-there feeling. In addition, the lenses should be close enough to your eyes that they provide adequate protection, but your eyelashes should not touch them.

Combining soft and hard components, the Uvex Safety Glasses feature softer components for increased comfort around sensitive areas including the nose, brow and ears.

Why Choose the Uvex Safety Glasses?
Whilst the level of protection offered by the lenses is important, comfort is also a key consideration. These glasses have a number of features that make them an ideal choice, including:
- Softer Materials: The Uvex i-vo Safety Glasses include a "duo-component technology", meaning that they are manufactured from two materials. This allows them to be hard and strong where they need to be and soft and comfortable in other areas, such as around the nose, the forehead and the ears.
- Adjustable Arms: While a lot of glasses are supplied in a fixed size, these glasses allow you to tailor them to suit your needs. The Uvex Safety Glasses feature adjustable arms that allow you to create a more comfortable fit.
- Better Peripheral Vision: The lenses used in these glasses features a geometric shape that is designed to give you completely unobstructed peripheral vision.
- Modern Sporty Design: The Uvex Safety Glasses feature a sporty design that is more stylish than regular safety eyewear.
Why Are Safety Glasses Used in Labs?
Safety glasses are essential in various types of research, so the use of safety glasses can protect the eye from the following hazards that can occur:
- Sawing
- Scaling
- Broken glass
- Chemical splashes
Why Do Medical Professionals Need Eye Protection?
Medical professionals might choose to wear safety glasses or goggles when they come into contact with people who are at risk of carrying communicable diseases which can enter through the eye.
Why Are Safety Glasses Needed in Construction and Assembly?
Safety glasses are needed to prevent flying objects from entering the eye or eye area. This can occur during sawing, breakages and general flying debris.
Why is Polycarbonate Used for Safety Glasses?
Polycarbonate has a number of different benefits that are particularly useful for protective eyewear:
- Lightweight, keeping glasses comfortable and not distracting which is essential for proper eyewear protection all day long
- Impact resistant, since polycarbonate is ten times more impact resistant than regular plastics (making this a brilliant material for use with flying hazards such as in manufacturing)
- Natural UV protection, since polycarbonate blocks 100% of UV without additional UV coating - keeping the wearer safe from eyesight damage as a result of the sun
