IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Vision safety is everyone's
responsibility! When selecting eyewear, keep these safety factors in
mind and be sure to discuss any safety needs with your dispenser or
doctor:
-
The type and style of the
spectacle frame is an important factor in determining how much
protection your eyeglasses will provide. Many frames are designed for
appearance - not for protection.
-
While federal law requires
all lenses to meet a standard of impact resistance, lenses used for
dress eyewear are not required to meet as rigorous an impact
resistance standard as lenses used in industrial or sports spectacles.
Of all the materials that can be made from, polycarbonate is the most
impact resistant.
-
No lenses are unbreakable
or shatterproof. They can break into sharp pieces that can cause
serious injury to the eye, or blindness. Even if the lenses do not
break, the frame can break or distort and result in serious eye
injury.
-
The continued impact
resistance of your lenses depends on how well you protect them from
physical shocks and abuse. For your own protection and visual comfort,
scratched or pitted lenses should be replaced immediately.
-
If your occupational or
recreational activities expose you to severe risk of flying objects or
physical impacts, eye safety may require special safety spectacles
with safety lenses, side shields, goggles and/or a full face shield.
