Fitover safety glasses are an additional frame that you add on top of your regular frame. Usually lightweight and durable, these are ideal for use in the workplace, at home, or for your hobbies. At RX Safety you can choose from a variety of styles and colors to find the perfect pair for your needs.

Safety glasses are meant to protect your eyes from certain dangers such as flying debris, flammable materials, and chemicals. Whether you work in the construction industry or simply love the outdoors, you need a pair of glasses that are strong and lightweight.

Purchasing safety glasses that meet ANSI Z87 standards is a great way to ensure you’re getting quality protection. The ANSI Z87 stamp means that these glasses have passed impact and ballistic tests, and are comfortable to wear. Here at RX Safety you can look out for this rating on the sticker available under the main photo of the product page, or by clicking “additional information” and scrolling to “safety rating”.

If you already wear prescription eyewear, it can be hard to find a pair of safety glasses that won’t compromise your vision, comfort, or budget. That’s why safety glasses that fit over your glasses, like the fitover models from RX-Safety, are such a smart solution. Specially designed to fit comfortably over regular prescription eyewear, fitover safety glasses deliver the same level of ANSI-rated protection as traditional safety glasses. However, they don’t sacrifice clarity and tend to be more affordable than custom prescription models.
