Prescription Safety Glasses

ANSI Z87+ Safety Glasses are glasses that have been rated by the American National Standards Institute to meet the high-velocity eyewear impact requirements. This means that the glasses are ballistic approved and can be safely used in potentially dangerous environments.

ANSI Z87.1 is the general safety standard used to denote whether a pair of glasses meets general safety requirements. Z87+ denotes that a pair of safety glasses is high impact ballistic rated.

Generally, it takes between 7-10 business days from the date of order to the shipping date. Certain coatings and additional items may delay this time, but if it is going to take longer, one of our Customer Service Representatives will reach out to you.

Glasses must be stamped with Z87+ if they are high impact rated AND Z87.1 for general safety. Otherwise, they only need to be marked with the manufacturers mark. Detachable side shields will be marked separately from the main lenses.

Prescription safety glasses do not expire, however constant, hard wear may cause frames to break or need repair over time. Furthermore, as you age, your eyes will change and your prescription may increase. In this case, we can remake the lenses for your safety glasses so that you don’t need to buy a new frame.

The cost of prescription safety glasses varies depending on the frame, the lens material, and any coatings or special accessories that have been selected. You would have to speak with one of our Customer Service Representatives to better determine the potential cost of a pair for your specific needs.

When purchasing your glasses, you will be given a list of options for lens material, coatings, prescriptions, etc. If you want to know more about a specific material, or its properties, please reach out to one of our Customer Service Representatives.

The difference between the single vision and digital single vision is that digital single vision is essentially an upgraded version of the standard single vision option. You can think of digital single vision as the “HD”, or high definition, version of single vision glasses. Digital single vision offers better optics and a wider range of vision. While this option is slightly more expensive than standard single vision, it is usually worth the extra money for the upgraded range of view. This is a good choice particularly for people with higher prescriptions or those seeking wraparound frames, since optics tend to be more distorted in these types of glasses.
