Ken,

I totally symapthize as I'm in the same boat. Any reputable optician should be able to help you. And yes safety glasses do meet a different standard than regular glasses.

Though regular glasses will stop minor machining chips, they won't stop a busted bit for example. Also safety glass lenses are actually either plastic or a form of safety glass. Meaning that if you do manage to break them the pieces are squareish rather than needle sharp shards.

The standard stamped on mine is ANSI Z87. They are typically available with and without side sheilds. While the side sheilds are less than stylish, I recommend them. If nothing else they make the glasses LOOK official and so end the hassle factor.

Unfortunately for you, mine are provided by my employer, so I just hand them the perscription and wait a few weeks. I have no idea other than the name "Titmus" molded in the bows where they came from. If you still need references I can ask when the opticians come in again in a week or two.
