What should I know about the fit and care of
safety glasses?
6
Fit

• Ensure your safety glasses fit properly. Eye
  size, bridge size and temple length all vary.
  Safety glasses should be individually assigned
  and fitted.
• Wear safety glasses 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.

Care

• Clean your safety glasses daily. Follow the
  manufacturer's instructions. Avoid rough handling
  that can scratch lenses.
• Scratches impair vision and can weaken lenses.
• Store your safety glasses in a clean, dry place
  where they cannot fall or be stepped on. Keep
  them in a case when they are not being worn.
• Replace scratched, pitted, broken, bent or
  ill-fitting glasses. Damaged glasses interfere
  with vision and do not provide protection.
• Replace damaged parts only with identical parts
  from the original manufacturer to ensure the same
  safety rating.

A prosthetic eye can cost between 1500-2000 and
needs to be replaced about every two years It
takes less than 2 seconds to put on safety
glasses, is 2 seconds worth 2 grand?
