Re: Engineering Safety Glasses Survey

I wear company supplied, prescription safety glasses. I just got a new pair that I have worn to an all day VEX tourney and an FLL tourney with no issues. My old ones use to give me headaches but these new ones are great (and a bit stylish).

Re: Engineering Safety Glasses Survey

My team has invested in about 30-40 of these for our glasses wearing population and while I can't tell if they're safer, they are definitely much more comfortable and impair my vision much less.

Re: Engineering Safety Glasses Survey

If you wear glasses and can't afford prescription safety glasses, you can always use safety goggles. You can get a pretty nice pair at home-depot for 20 dollars. I have had these for a year and they are pretty scratch resistant, never fog on me, and are quite comfortable. If you can stand to wear these "stylish" bad boys in public then they are a perfect choice.

I marked Yes, but this is really more of a Sometimes. Depends on whether I'm wearing contacts or not.
I wanted to mark this I used to wear perscription safety glasses, then I got LASEK.

For those that wear prescription safeties you should add a question about visual distortion. The lenses are so thick up close I had distortion issues while wearing them. Other than that actual perscription safety glasses are way more comfortable.

Re: Engineering Safety Glasses Survey

The importance of comfortable, easy to wear safety glasses cannot be overstated. A nice comfortable pair of them will pay for themselves in the first hour of use. I have about a dozen pairs of various styles in my toolboxes. All of them are comfortable and make a full day of use trivial.

I want to direct everyone to one of my favorite websites: http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/
(Here's an example of a type we may buy, $3.90/pair when ordering over 36 pairs: http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/16505.html)

This site literally has hundreds of varieties of safety glasses. They have anything from the highest of high ends, to the lowest of low ends, and a huge selection in the middle. The reason I like them so much? Comfortable safety glasses can be had for CHEAP, probably around ~$2/pair. There's also volume pricing so if you order a bunch, you get a discount.

We've ordered our glasses for the past couple seasons from there. I've never had any issues with shipping, quality, etc. Highly recommended. Also, free shipping on orders >$100.

Re: Engineering Safety Glasses Survey

Safety glasses are required for my job at all times on the factory floor. I have had good experience with Patriot brand over-the-glasses style safety glasses; I can wear them for 12+ hour shifts without discomfort. They do scratch, but if you take close care of them that isn't an issue. I usually don't realize that I'm wearing them at all.

I've used side-shields with my normal glasses, but only on occasions where safety glasses were obligatory but I didn't feel were necessary. Whenever there is the potential for flying bits of metal in the air, I will always put on a beefy pair of safety glasses that fully protect my eyes.

Re: Engineering Safety Glasses Survey

I assume that you are surveying the off-the-shelf, non-prescription safety glasses. Most large companies supply custom prescription or non-prescription safety glasses to their employees, indistinguishable from regular glasses (except for the side shields).

Re: Engineering Safety Glasses Survey

I do not wear prescription glasses, but like some of the other mentors, I find that as I get older I do need reading glasses at times. I just use regular drug store reading glasses, not true prescription glasses, but they can be a pain to wear along with standard safety glasses.

I tried using some safety glasses that were sold as reading safety glasses in a power that seemed good for use at normal working distances, but they were mostly sold with those little bifocal bumps that never really were in the right place. I also tried the stick on lenses with similar poor results. Working with electronics or mechanical devices is different from reading with a book on your lap, and I find I need to hold my head at odd angles to use these bi-focal type of safety glasses. After using them for a while I end up with a stiff neck.

What I really wanted was a pair of off the shelf safety reading glasses where the whole lens had the same level of magnification. I finally found what I wanted. The product is called Mag-saf and is available for about $15 from Amazon and other places. (No connection) They are plastic and probably scratch easily, but I have never had a problem because I always wear them with a strap so that I am never tempted to put them down where I shouldn't. Works for me. I think they are great.

A clip-on loupe magnifier could also help in similar situations. A quick search showed monocular versions for as low as 5 dollars and binocular versions for as low as $7.50, the higher-end models exceed $200.00, but those are probably overkill.
The cool thing about these is that many are somewhat adjustable.
