FAQs

Are these safety glasses suitable for wearing over prescription glasses?

Yes, the Portwest PW33 Classic Safety Glasses are designed to offer a degree of compatibility with prescription eyewear, though the fit may vary depending on the size and shape of your prescription glasses.

What does 'CE certified' and 'UKCA marked' mean?

These certifications indicate that the product meets the health, safety, and environmental protection standards required for products sold within the European Economic Area (CE) and Great Britain (UKCA).

How should I clean the lenses to maintain the anti-scratch coating?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth. For dirtier lenses, a mild soap and water solution is recommended. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can degrade the anti-scratch coating.

Do these glasses provide protection against chemical splashes?

These glasses are designed primarily for impact protection and UV protection. They do not offer full protection against chemical splashes. For chemical resistance, a different type of safety eyewear is recommended.

What is the UV protection level?

The Portwest PW33 Classic Safety Glasses offer 99% UV protection.

Can the side arms be adjusted for a better fit?

Yes, the side arms are extendable, allowing you to adjust them for a secure and comfortable fit tailored to your head size.

Are these glasses suitable for all types of industrial work?

These glasses are suitable for many industrial environments, particularly where impact and peripheral vision are key concerns. However, always assess the specific risks of your work environment to ensure appropriate PPE is selected.

Troubleshooting

Glasses feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the extendable temple arms to find a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure they are centered on your nose.

Vision is obscured by smudges or dirt

Clean the lenses using a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soap with water if necessary. Avoid abrasive materials.

Lenses fogging up

Ensure proper ventilation by not overtightening the arms. In very humid conditions, consider anti-fog wipes (sold separately) or a model with enhanced ventilation.

Scratches on the lens impacting visibility

The anti-scratch coating offers resistance, but deep scratches may occur. Replace the glasses if scratches significantly impair vision.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Portwest PW33 Classic Safety Glasses require minimal setup. Adjust the temple arms by extending or retracting them to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the glasses sit snugly on your nose via the moulded bridge.

Compatibility: These safety glasses are designed to be worn over most prescription eyewear, although fit may vary. They are compatible with various work environments requiring eye protection, including construction, manufacturing, and general industrial applications.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the lenses regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher grime, but avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the anti-scratch coating.
  2. Storage: Store the glasses in their retail bag or a protective case when not in use to prevent scratching and damage.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the glasses for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the lens or worn temple arms. Replace if compromised.
