FAQs

Are these safety glasses suitable for outdoor work in bright sunlight?

These glasses offer 99.9% UV protection, which is excellent for reducing UV exposure. However, they feature clear lenses and do not provide tinting for sun glare reduction. For extremely bright conditions, consider models with tinted lenses.

Can I wear these with prescription glasses?

These are designed as standalone safety eyewear and are not intended to be worn over prescription glasses. For combined protection, consider over-prescription safety glasses or safety glasses with integrated prescription lenses.

How durable are the anti-scratch lenses?

The lenses feature an anti-scratch coating designed to resist minor abrasions from everyday use. However, they are not indestructible and can be scratched by sharp objects or abrasive materials.

What does 'CE marked (EN 166:2001 1 FT)' mean?

This marking indicates that the eyewear has been tested and approved to comply with European Standards for personal eye protection, specifically EN 166, with '1' signifying optical class and 'F' and 'T' indicating resistance to low-energy impact and high-speed particles, respectively.

How should I clean the lenses to avoid damage?

Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using paper towels, tissues, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the anti-scratch coating and lens material.

What is the weight of these safety glasses?

The 3M™ SecureFit™ 400 Safety Eyewear is extremely lightweight, weighing only 19 grams.

Are these glasses suitable for protection against chemical splashes?

These glasses are primarily designed for impact and UV protection. While the wraparound design offers some general protection, they are not specifically rated for heavy chemical splash resistance. For such applications, specialized chemical goggles are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Eyewear fogs up during use

Ensure the glasses fit snugly but allow for some airflow. For persistent fogging, consider using a dedicated anti-fog spray or wipe, or ensure adequate ventilation in your work area.

Glasses feel loose or slip down

Adjust the soft nose pads to achieve a more secure and personalized fit. Ensure the temple arms are resting comfortably on your ears.

Lenses are scratched

While the lenses are scratch-resistant, deep scratches can impair vision. Inspect regularly and replace the eyewear if significant scratching affects visibility or structural integrity.

Discomfort from prolonged wear

Adjust the nose pads and ensure the temple arms are not applying excessive pressure. The lightweight design and padded touchpoints should minimize discomfort; however, taking short breaks can also help.

Care: To maintain optical clarity and performance:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the lenses regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the anti-scratch coating.
  2. Storage: Store the eyewear in a clean, dry place, preferably in a protective case or the original packaging, to prevent scratches and damage.
  3. Inspection: Before each use, inspect the glasses for any signs of damage, such as cracks or deep scratches, and replace if compromised.
