Prescription safety glasses

[Jamie Copeland]

Hi folks

I'm interested in buying a pair of prescription safety glasses. I just use my glasses when in the workshop as I find the perspex safety glasses hard to see through. I've had numerous bits of wood fly towards my glasses and feel that it's only a matter of time before I damage them. I'd rather invest in a pair of safety specs and put them on when I enter the workshop than continue as I am and have to buy new glasses as they're certainly not cheap these days.

Any advice would be welcome. I'm keen to find out where folk buy them from.

Cheers

Jamie

Best advice i can give is visit your local opticians , they will be the best source of information.

I got mine from the local optician, I think any optician can order some up for you.

have a look in your area for an optician who specialises in shooting glasses. Cant get more protection than something that will withstand a shotgun blast.

The glasses might survive but the wearer might have a few problems :twisted:

A number of people from my previous job used to get prescription safety glasses from Uvex.
