Safety Eyewear - When Compliance Meets Style

Many options use a "one size fits all" approach, overlooking the diverse face shapes, applications, and environments of users. Eye protection is effective only if it fits properly. A poor fit can be uncomfortable and fail to provide adequate protection from objects and splashes that may harm the eyes. If eye protection does not fit well, it should be replaced.

Choosing the right eye protection can be challenging due to issues with comfort, fit, fogging, and style

Update 05.09.25

The Most Common Types of Eye Protection

Safety glasses – Safety glasses are designed to protect your eyes from flying objects and UV, IR, and welding shades. They often include side shields for additional protection from the sides, or eyecups that help guard against hazards from above and below. These glasses can be either prescription or non-prescription and are constructed with lenses and frames that are durable enough to withstand impact.

Goggles – These protect against dust, splash, mists, vapors, and fumes. They may be foam-lined for a better fit, adding an extra layer of protection, and are typically ventilated, either directly or indirectly, to allow for air circulation.

Face shields and helmets – Face shields are designed to protect the entire face or entire head and are often tinted to protect against intense light. However, workers using helmets or face shields should also wear safety glasses underneath to provide protection when the outer equipment is removed.

The markings on the eyeprotects indicate what type of protection they provide. For example, in ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 a “+” marking indicates it is impact resistant; “W, U, R, and L” are light filters for welding, UV, IR, and visible light; and D indicates protection from splash or dust.

Considerations for Safety Eyewear

  1. Fit – One size does not fit all
    1. It fits closely to your face with no gaps.
    2. The fit is secure on your head with little to no pressure on sensitive areas.
    3. Stays in place
    4. Enables clear peripheral vision without any obstructions.
       
  2. Function / Performance – Performance features are essential. Choose wide-angle, wraparound lenses for smooth optical quality to minimize blind spots, eye fatigue, and headaches. Adding a glass with anti-fog and anti-scratch-resistant coatings will allow you to see clearly when the temperature and humidity change. 
     
  3. Comfort – Minimal to no pressure on the nose bridge or temples.
     
  4. Style – Looking good in your safety eyewear provides both protection and confidence while keeping you compliant.

Every year, thousands of workers experience eye injuries due to a lack of appropriate eye protection. A workplace incident can quickly lead to serious injuries, including blindness, for those not wearing the proper safety gear. Preventing eye injuries from flying objects and chemical splashes is relatively simple, as the necessary eye protection is neither complicated nor high-tech. Safety eyewear, such as goggles, glasses, or face shields, must comply with the standards set by OSHA and ANSI, and CSA for CAN.
