Prescription safety frames are sturdier than dress frames and
prescription safety glasses are often heat resistant and are stronger
than street-wear frames. Prescription safety glasses are not easily bent
or broken and are designed to prevent lenses from being pushed into the
eyes.
Many styles of prescription safety glasses frames are now fashionable
enough to wear
outside of the workplace. The frames range from basic plastic frames to
the
top of the line Titanium frames, which are the most durable, lightweight
and
do not corrode. They come in many colors, sizes and price ranges.
Titanium
is a lightweight, strong, gray, corrosion-resistant metallic element
used in
strong light-weight alloys (such as airplane parts).
Make sure that the prescription frames fit properly. They should be worn
so that the
temples fit comfortably over the ears. The frame should be as close to
the
face as possible and adequately supported by the bridge of the nose.
Comfort fitting features of safety frames include soft adjustable nose
pads, silicone nose pads and uni-fit bridges.
A proper prescription sports frame should be used with the polycarbonate
lenses in order to provide adequate eye protection. A regular eyeglass
frame will not
withstand the impact of a ball or racquet. It is dangerous to play
sports while wearing an eyeglass frame that is not rated for sports
eyewear.
If polycarbonate lenses are placed in a frame that is not safety rated,
the eyeglasses cannot lawfully be considered safety glasses. They may
not provide enough protection for the activity for which you need the
safety glasses. An optician can tell you which frames are safety rated.
Prescription safety frames can also come with side shields especially
made to fit the frame style. The side shields may be slipped on or
removable or can be permanently affixed to the frame with a screw or
rivet.
