Wrap around safety glasses
Wrap around safety glasses fully protect your eyes when operating machinery. Some of the older safety glasses with side shields limited peripheral vision and caused tunnel vision. The wrap around styles protect eyes when engaging in tasks such as sanding, buffing and drill-press work.
A couple of unique features of wrap around safety glasses include:
Interchangeable gaskets which allow for switching of prescription lenses; They work like a goggle, but look like sunglasses.
In addition, today’s wrap-around-styles can look as stylish as the sport glasses worn by professional athletes.
Wrap around safety glasses may provide protection against blood splatter when used for medical purposes; or they might have stronger lenses and a stronger frame with additional shields at the temples when used in a
factory. Safety glass lenses may be tinted in order to protect against radiation.
When working with chemicals, a chemical goggle may be needed which will protect the eyes when there is a high risk of a chemical splash or irritating mist. A face shield should also be added.
