FAQs

Are these glasses suitable for outdoor work in bright sunlight?

Yes, the Polarised Lens UV400 offers excellent protection against harmful UV rays and reduces glare, making them suitable for outdoor work in sunny conditions.

Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?

These safety glasses are designed to offer a universal fit and may accommodate some prescription eyewear. However, fit can vary depending on the size and shape of your prescription glasses.

What does 'KN-rated' mean for the lens coating?

'K' signifies anti-scratch resistance, and 'N' signifies anti-fog resistance, according to EN 166 standards. This ensures your vision remains clear and the lenses are durable.

How do I clean the lenses to preserve the anti-fog and anti-scratch properties?

Use mild soap and water with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the specialized coatings.

Are these glasses metal-free?

Yes, the product description states they are 100% metal-free, which is beneficial in environments where metal detection is a concern or for electrical safety.

What are the lens options available?

The glasses are available in clear, smoke, and amber lens options, allowing you to choose based on your specific working environment and lighting conditions.

What is the benefit of the aerated temples?

The aerated (ventilated) temples help to improve airflow, reducing heat buildup and preventing the lenses from fogging up, especially during physical activity or in warm environments.

Troubleshooting

Lenses fogging up.

Ensure the glasses are clean and that the anti-fog coating is intact. Move to an area with less humidity if possible. If fogging persists, the coating may be compromised, and replacement might be necessary.

Glasses slipping down the nose.

Adjust the position of the soft rubber nose piece for a snugger fit. Ensure the temples are also providing adequate grip behind the ears.

Scratches appearing on lenses.

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Store the glasses properly in a protective case or bag when not in use. Minor superficial scratches may occur over time with regular use.

Discomfort during prolonged wear.

Ensure the flexible temples are not too tight. Try adjusting the nose piece. If discomfort persists, consider if this specific frame style is suitable for your facial structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These safety glasses require no assembly. They are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure they fit comfortably before commencing work.

Compatibility: The glasses are designed to be worn over standard prescription eyewear by some users, though fit may vary. They are compatible with most standard safety helmets and hearing protection.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wash the lenses with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the coatings.
  2. Storage: Store the glasses in a protective case or the provided retail bag when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
  3. Inspection: Regularly inspect the lenses and frame for any signs of damage. Discontinue use if cracks or significant wear are apparent.
