Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these safety glasses suitable for high-impact sports?
No, the Portwest PS38 Ultra Safety Glasses are designed for general industrial eye protection and may not meet the requirements for high-impact sports.
Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?
These are designed as primary eyewear. They are not classified as over-prescription safety glasses and may not fit comfortably or provide adequate protection when worn over existing prescription eyewear.
How do I clean the anti-scratch coating?
The anti-scratch coating is integral to the lens. Clean the lenses gently with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating.
What does 'CE certified' mean for these glasses?
CE certification indicates that the product meets the European Union's health, safety, and environmental protection standards. For these glasses, it signifies compliance with relevant European safety directives for eye protectors.
Are these glasses safe for welding?
No, these safety glasses do not provide the specialized protection required for welding. Welding requires dedicated welding helmets or goggles with appropriate shade lenses.
What is the benefit of the inclinable side arms?
The inclinable side arms allow you to adjust the angle of the spectacle arms relative to the lens. This helps achieve a more precise and comfortable fit for different head shapes and nose bridges, ensuring optimal coverage and reducing pressure points.
How long does the UV protection last?
The UV protection is an inherent property of the polycarbonate lens material and does not degrade over time under normal use and care. It will remain effective for the lifespan of the glasses.
Troubleshooting
Glasses feel loose or slip down.
Adjust the inclinable side arms to a more comfortable angle and ensure the flexible temples are snug against the sides of your head.
Vision is blurry or obscured by smudges.
Clean the lenses thoroughly with a soft cloth and approved lens cleaner. Ensure you are not accidentally rubbing the anti-scratch coating with abrasive materials.
Browguard is uncomfortable or digs into the forehead.
The browguard is designed to provide protection and may require a slight adjustment of the temple arms' angle to better distribute pressure.
Condensation forms on the lenses in humid conditions.
While designed for comfort, significant fogging may occur in extreme temperature or humidity changes. Ensure good ventilation and consider anti-fog wipes if fogging is persistent.
