How to Order Bifocal Safety Glasses

The first step to finding a great pair of prescription safety glasses is understanding the specific hazards that your eyes face on a regular basis. Are you in an environment where chemical exposure is a possibility? Are you at risk of projectile impact on your job site? Take factors like these into consideration when you’re shopping for bifocal safety glasses and look for a pair that’s specifically designed for the eye hazards you may encounter.

Yet another important consideration is the different types of materials that can be used to make the lenses in bifocal safety glasses. The most common material used is polycarbonate for several reasons, including the following:

• Superior impact resistance
• Can be made shatterproof
• Superior flexibility and durability

These features make polycarbonate a favorite for the lenses of safety glasses. You may find, however, that other lens materials — including glass — are better suited to your unique needs for protective eyewear.

Choosing the right prescription safety glasses means you need to know your frame and lens options. The aforementioned glass and polycarbonate lenses are the most common two options on the market, but choices are far more varied when it comes to selecting frames. Some of the materials you’ll find for frames include the following:

• Titanium and titanium alloys
• Heavy duty plastics
• Nylon
• Triloid

When you’re shopping for bifocal safety glasses, you should research which of these materials is the best for your worksite’s demands. The most common material for safety glasses frames, though, is nylon. This is because nylon is both durable and flexible, so they are comfortable while still resisting impact.

After a little while spent shopping for bifocal safety glasses, you’ll find that there are many options that feature specific safety ratings. You’ll notice a lot of ANSI rated bifocal safety glasses. This means that the glasses in question have been tested, evaluated, and approved by the American National Standards Institute. ANSI is an independent organization that grades safety equipment such as prescription safety glasses. In addition to an ANSI rating, you should look for bifocal safety glasses that are stamped with the OSHA seal of approval.

In order to find the right bifocal safety glasses, you must determine your magnifier diopter strength. Diopter strength ranges from one, which represents minor magnification, to four, which indicates strong magnification. To determine the correct strength for your magnifier diopter, you can access an online diopter chart that will help you identify the best option.

Once you have determined your magnifier diopter strength, chosen a lens material, and found the best frames…you’re ready to place your order!
