FAQs

What standard are these safety spectacles certified to?

These spectacles are certified to EN166 1F AS, indicating optical class 1, resistance to low energy impact (45 m/s), and anti-scratch coating.

Are these suitable for indoor use?

The smoke lens is optimized for bright conditions. While they can be worn indoors, visibility may be reduced compared to a clear lens, especially in areas with lower lighting.

How do I clean the lenses properly?

Use a soft, damp cloth or a dedicated lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens coating.

What does Grade F Impact Resistance mean?

Grade F indicates resistance to low energy impact, specifically able to withstand the impact of a 6mm steel ball weighing 0.86g traveling at 45 m/s.

Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?

These are designed as standard safety spectacles. Over-the-glasses (OTG) models are available if you need to wear them over prescription eyewear. Please check product specifications for OTG compatibility.

Does the smoke lens offer UV protection?

While the smoke lens reduces glare, specific UV protection levels are not detailed in the product description. For applications requiring certified UV protection, please consult specific product documentation or alternative models.

What is included with the purchase?

The purchase includes the Portwest Profile Safety Spectacle with a smoke lens and a free spectacle cord.

Troubleshooting

Lenses fogging up

Ensure the spectacles are fitting correctly. For persistent fogging, consider using an anti-fog spray specifically designed for safety eyewear. Ensure good ventilation in the work area if possible.

Reduced visibility in low light

The smoke lens is designed for bright conditions. For low-light environments, consider switching to a clear lens version of the safety spectacle if available.

Discomfort during prolonged wear

Adjust the position of the spectacle arms for a better fit. Ensure the nose pads are clean and not causing irritation. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your facial structure.

Scratched lenses

Avoid storing the spectacles without protection. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Deep scratches cannot be repaired and may require replacement of the eyewear for optimal vision.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These safety spectacles require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure the adjustable nose pads (if applicable to specific models not detailed here) and temple arms are positioned for a comfortable and secure fit.

Compatibility: Certified to EN166 1F AS. The '1' indicates optical class 1 for high optical quality, 'F' denotes resistance to low energy impact (up to 45 m/s), and 'AS' signifies anti-scratch coating. The smoke lens is best suited for bright light conditions and may reduce visibility indoors or in dim lighting.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the lenses regularly using a soft, damp cloth or a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyewear. Avoid using abrasive materials, solvents, or household cleaners, as these can damage the lens coating.
  2. Storage: Store the spectacles in a clean, dry place, preferably in a protective case, when not in use to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the spectacles for any signs of damage, such as cracks, deep scratches, or loose components. Replace if compromised.
  4. Handling: Use the provided spectacle cord to avoid dropping or misplacing the glasses.
