Safety glasses you'll actually want to wear
When we think of safety glasses, we usually immediately think of bulky, dull-looking, and uncomfortable PVC glasses with protection around the entire eye. While they are effective, they're usually not comfortable enough to last a full workday. Fortunately, there are alternative solutions that your employees will happily wear with a smile. At Oogwereld, we distribute safety glasses frames from various leading brands. These glasses offer the right protection, feel feather-light, look good, and are also very affordable.
A look at the many possibilities
Type of protectionThe exact type of safety glasses you need depends primarily on the risks you encounter in the workplace.

The latter are also suitable for use in ATEX environments. Some possible frame and lens materials include: tempered mineral glass with scratch-resistant coatings, CR39, Trivex, polycarbonate, and more.
Choice of different models and systems
- Ultra-light and attractive safety glasses that you put on just like standard glasses

Need prescription safety glasses?
If you need safety glasses as a spectacle wearer, simple clip-on glasses that fit over your regular glasses are usually the obvious choice. This combination of two pairs of glasses is certainly an option if you're only on the job for short periods. However, for longer periods, separate prescription safety glasses are usually much more comfortable. By switching glasses, you also protect your everyday glasses from potential damage. A double benefit, then.
