Safety readers and bifocal safety glasses combine eye protection with magnification for reading, detailed work, and other close-up tasks. At RX Safety, our collection includes several options for clearer near vision, including safety reading glasses, bifocal safety glasses, clip-on magnifiers, and stick-on bifocals.

With different magnification powers, frame styles, lens options, and configurations available, you can choose the solution that best fits your work environment and vision needs.

Safety Reading Glasses and Bifocal Safety Glasses

Our safety reading glasses provide built-in magnification for close-up tasks, while bifocal safety glasses feature a magnified reading area within the lens. Also commonly known as cheater safety glasses, these options are useful for reading small print, checking measurements, inspecting components, and completing detailed work.

Depending on the model, options may include different magnification powers, frame styles, sizes, lens colors, and safety ratings. This variety makes it easier to find protective eyewear suited to different applications and preferences.

Clip-On Magnifiers and Stick-On Bifocals

If you prefer to add magnification to eyewear you already own, our collection also includes clip-on flip-up reading glasses and stick-on bifocals. Clip-on magnifiers attach to compatible eyewear and can be flipped up when magnification is not needed. Stick-on bifocals add a magnified reading area directly to compatible lenses, offering another flexible option for close-up vision.

Whether you need dedicated bifocal safety glasses, safety readers with built-in magnification, or a magnifying accessory for existing eyewear, explore our collection to find the right solution for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

You may have heard of “cheaters” before when hearing someone discuss their glasses or eyewear. “Cheaters’ ‘ or cheater safety glasses is another nomination for bifocal safety glasses.

This depends on what style of bifocal safety glasses you choose! In fact, the frames on bifocal safety glasses are utterly identical to regular safety glasses. So, like with regular safety glasses if the frame is protective such as a wraparound or goggle style, you do not need side shields. Similarly, if the frames are classic round shaped, you may want to invest in a pair of removable side shields. It’s all up to you and the level of protection you require for your particular environments at home or work!

The magnification on your bifocal safety glasses will be identical to the magnification on your regular reading prescription from your eye doctor.
