Prescription Safety Glasses FAQs
Whether you are shopping in-person or online, you may see a “Z87” marking. Z87 signals that this particular pair of safety glasses have passed stringent ANSI safety standards.
To truly understand what Z87 means, we need to take a step back. Safety glasses are extremely important tools when working or playing in challenging conditions. Whether you are in an environment with lots of flying dust, debris, or lasers, failing to protect your eyes can lead to serious eye problems—including blindness.
To do so, you simply need to take a look at the glasses themselves. If the glasses are safety-approved according to ANSI or other standards, they will be stamped. By stamped, we mean that you will see on the frame or lens whether it meets certain safety standards.
In spite of the fact that OSHA requires that a workplace be safe for employees, that doesn’t mean that a workplace must be completely free of hazards. It means that the company must provide equipment and training to protect their employees from those hazards. A great example of this is safety glasses. An employer has to make sure that every employer who works around a potential eye or face hazard has proper protection. Specifically, if an employee is working around any of the following substances, they have to wear safety glasses:
Flying particles
Molten metal
Liquid chemicals
Acids or caustic liquids
Chemical gases or vapors
Potentially injurious light radiation
For the most part, prescription glasses are not the same as safety eyeglasses. This is for several reasons. Prescription glasses and safety glasses often aren’t made of the same material or lenses. Along with the frame and lens materials, safety glasses tend to offer additional features that can help protect wearers.
Safety glass lenses must be certified and meet the requirement shock resistance, as stated in the American National Standards Institute of strength and endurance.
For eye protection against the following hazards; sand, dust particles, flying fragments, large chips or objects, the lenses must meet the impact ANSI rating for Z87-2+ (Rx frame), Z87+ (Plano frame), Z87+ (all other lenses) which includes Chipping, grinding, machining, masonry work, riveting, and sanding.
Prescription Safety Glasses
Clear vision is crucial for safety. Prescription safety glasses combine durable physical eye protection with precise vision correction. Start by selecting a pair of frames that are rated for conditions on a work site or in any other environment in which you need to see clearly while protecting your eyes.
Correct Vision for Safety
Whether you work under hazardous conditions or play impact sports, it is crucial that your eyes remain protected while your vision is corrected. Prescription safety eyewear combines the benefits of clearer vision with impact resistance and many other protective features. Narrow down the available options by making sure that the diopters of prescription lenses are compatible with the frame style. Most frames are also available with single vision, bifocal or progressive (no line) lenses.
High RX prescriptions with a cylinder measurement exceeding +/- 2.50 or a sphere exceeding +/- 5.0 may not be suitable for wraparound frames. The shape of these frames can distort vision. Some glasses styles are available with a prescription rim system to accommodate diopters that exceed +/- 3.5 degrees. Most lenses are available with standard or Digital HD surfacing.
Durable Eye Protection
The most durable frames are made of plastic or metal and have shatterproof lenses. The American National Standards Institute and other regulatory bodies perform rigorous testing of eyewear and assign safety ratings. Glasses with the ANSI Z87 rating have passed a basic impact test in which a steel ball with a one-inch diameter is dropped on a lens from a height of 50 inches. The Z87+ rating indicates that eyewear mounted on a head form has passed high mass and velocity testing.
In the past, the lenses in Z87 prescription safety glasses were required to be at least 3 millimeters thick. Thinner and lighter prescription lenses that pass impact testing are now permitted. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and international standards organizations also maintain safety ratings for eyewear.
