Eye protection

Eye and vision protection
To prevent eye damage, special durable eye protection is used, which is necessary in production, in any aggressive environment, where a worker can easily injure his eyes with blinding rays, sparks from welding, acid splashes, etc.

Safety glasses and shields are a mandatory part of the work uniform of welders, builders, demolition workers, miners, chemical and medical laboratory technicians, surgeons, carpenters, and even athletes - representatives of all professions whose field of activity includes contact with electricity, chemical aerosols, welding, etc.
What types of threats does personal eye protection protect against?
Since the eyes are easily injured and practically impossible to cure, scientists were busy creating the first technical eye protection devices at the end of the last century. At first, they were uncomfortable, had a too narrow viewing angle and did not provide complete safety. The discomfort when wearing them forced workers to refuse to wear personal eye protection devices, which led to injuries.

When developing modern eye PPE, all these shortcomings were taken into account, as a result of which industrial personnel can use light, comfortable safety glasses and shields with protection against a wide variety of risks:

From burns during welding.
From corrosive chemicals.
From mechanical damage.
From harmful light radiation.
From dust, steam, smoke.
From thermal effects.
From large and small flying objects.
From rain and wind.

The range of protective equipment in our catalog
On the website of the online store Yuasafety you can find eye protection glasses for industrial use that are suitable for long-term wear, do not cause discomfort and can even correct vision. To choose the right type of safety glasses, it is important to find out what risks the personnel will face in the workplace.

Open goggles are suitable if eye protection is only needed from the front and sides. They have a wide angle of vision, they do not fog up during work. Some types of safety glasses provide the ability to change the lenses to corrective ones, with diopters.
Closed eye protection glasses are suitable for more dangerous work, they completely cover the eyes from all sides, can cover part of the face, the bridge of the nose. The angle of view is slightly lower. The glass of such glasses is covered with a special coating, which reduces the degree of fogging, ventilation is also used.
For protection during welding, you need to buy professional, durable eye protection with darkened filters. They are strong enough to protect the worker from the highest temperatures, sparks, block UV and IR radiation, passing only the part of the light spectrum necessary for the worker. Such glasses and shields cover not only the eyes from all sides, but also most of the face.

Light filters can be built-in – it makes sense to buy such protective glasses if only one type of work is planned. To expand your working capabilities, you can choose eye protection that has viewing frames where panes are inserted – then the filters can be replaced.

The type of work that can be performed in certain personal eye protection devices directly depends on the type of filters they have, not only the strength of the glass is important. If you have to work with bright light, welding, darkening light filters are enough, and if the worker deals with caustic aggressive substances, acids, alkalis, aerosols, glasses with a special coating are needed to protect the eyes.
