WorkSafe Eyewear opticians will determine the type of prescription lenses that best suits your particular work activity. For example; certain tasks might suit the use of a Bifocal lenses over a Single vision lenses. Or Polycarbonate lens material may not be suitable in an area where Solvents are handled. We may also recommend the use of tints or lens coatings to improve worker efficiency and safety.
Lens Material Selection
The following list outlines the variety of safety lens materials available from WorkSafe Eyewear.
Polycarbonate:
Poly carbonate lenses offer great value and remains the gold standard for RX Safety eyewear.
Trivex:
Trivex is a new lens material. If offers impact resistance as well as being resistant to common solvents.
Transitions:
Transitions lenses change their tint level to suit the surrounding light conditions.
Tinting:
For the best outdoor eye protection we recommend plain tinting or polarised sunglasses. Plain tinting reduces glare by decreasing the overall level of light reaching your eyes. Polarised tinting offers improved outdoor vision by controlling the reflected glare; this is highly useful for drivers and outdoor machine operators.
Lens Styles
We supply a number of spectacle lens designs including:
Single Vision
Single focus only for reading or distance
Bifocal
Bifocals are split- field lenses: the top part is for distance while the lower part is for reading
Multi focal / Progressive
Progressive lenses are like the bifocal but have no line. They also have an intermediate range focus zone.
Extended Focus
This design is for computer operators and offers more comfort and a better field of view than single vision or bifocal lenses.
Anti Glare Coating
Anti Glare coatings reduce surface reflections on your glasses. The elimination of annoying surface reflections greatly improves vision in glare-y or low light environments.
With Anti Glare Coating
Without Anti Glare Coating
The flare of oncoming headlights is distracting and can cause accidents.
Anti Glare Coatings can greatly improve night vision and remove unwanted reflections. This coating acts to push light through the lens stopping it from being reflected. These coatings actually improve the performance of the lens- giving clearer sharper vision to the wearer- and less annoying surface reflections. These coatings improve workplace safety and productivity.
Anti Glare coatings can be applied to all lens types.
