FAQs
Are these glasses suitable for all types of industrial work?
The Portwest PS13 Mega KN Safety Glasses offer protection against particles, impact, and glare, with anti-scratch and anti-fog properties. They are CE certified. However, always consult your specific workplace hazard assessment to ensure they meet all necessary requirements for your task.
How do I clean the anti-fog coating?
Gently clean the lenses with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn residue, use a lens cleaner specifically designed for anti-fog coatings. Avoid abrasive materials or household cleaners, which can damage the coating.
Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?
These glasses are a half-frame style and may accommodate some smaller prescription glasses. However, fit can vary significantly depending on the size and shape of your prescription eyewear. It's recommended to try them on with your glasses if possible.
What does 'KN certified' mean for the lenses?
'K' certification refers to superior anti-scratch resistance, and 'N' certification refers to anti-fog performance. These certifications indicate the lenses have undergone testing and meet specific performance standards for these properties.
How do I adjust the side arms?
The side arms are both extendable (slide in/out) and inclinable (pivot). Gently pull to extend or retract, and tilt the arm at the hinge point to change its angle relative to the frame.
What is the material of the glasses?
The main lens material is Polycarbonate (90%), with TPE (10%) used for the co-injected brow guard and temple tips for comfort and grip.
Troubleshooting
Lenses fogging up.
Ensure the anti-fog coating is intact. Clean the lenses gently with a recommended anti-fog solution and a soft cloth. Ensure the glasses are fitted correctly to allow for some ventilation.
Glasses feel loose or slip down.
Adjust the extendable side arms for a more secure fit. Ensure the rubber temple tips are clean and providing grip. If issues persist, consider if a different model might offer a better fit for your head shape.
Scratches appearing on lenses.
Avoid storing the glasses without protection. Clean gently with a soft cloth. If scratches impair vision significantly, the lenses may need replacement, or the glasses should be retired and replaced.
Brow guard feels uncomfortable.
Adjust the angle of the side arms, which can subtly change the position of the brow guard. Ensure the glasses are not over-tightened. If discomfort persists, the design may not suit your facial structure.
