Product Information
Full details
The Portwest PS30 Over-Safety Glasses are designed for individuals who wear prescription glasses and require reliable eye protection in demanding work environments. Their key benefit is offering superior, panoramic eye protection that fits comfortably over most prescription eyewear. A potential caveat is that fit may vary depending on the size and shape of the underlying prescription glasses. These lightweight, wraparound safety glasses feature a durable polycarbonate lens with molded side shields and a brow guard for comprehensive protection, along with adjustable and extendable arms for a secure and comfortable fit. They also offer UV protection and an anti-scratch coating for enhanced durability and clarity.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these glasses suitable for all types of prescription glasses?
The PS30 Over-Safety Glasses are designed to fit over most standard prescription glasses. However, very large, thick-rimmed, or unusually shaped prescription frames may not fit comfortably or securely.
What type of protection do these glasses offer?
They offer protection against impact and flying particles. They also provide UV protection and feature an anti-scratch coating for durability and clear vision. They are CE certified and meet relevant safety standards.
How do I clean the PS30 Over-Safety Glasses?
Clean the lenses using a soft, damp cloth and a mild lens cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Allow the glasses to air dry or gently pat dry with a soft cloth.
Can I wear these glasses for extended periods?
Yes, the PS30 glasses are lightweight and feature adjustable arms, designed for comfort during extended wear. The ergonomic design helps to minimize pressure points.
What materials are the PS30 glasses made from?
They are constructed primarily from Polycarbonate (90%) for the lens and Nylon (10%) for the frame components.
Are these glasses suitable for chemical splash protection?
While they offer a good seal around the eyes with the brow guard and side shields, they are primarily designed for impact protection and dust. For direct chemical splash protection, specialized goggles designed for that purpose are recommended.
Where can I buy replacement parts if the arms break?
The PS30 Over-Safety Glasses are typically sold as a complete unit. Replacement parts are generally not available separately. If damaged, the glasses would need to be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Glasses do not fit comfortably over prescription glasses.
Ensure your prescription glasses are centered within the PS30 frame. Adjust the extendable side arms for length and the inclinable arms for angle. If the fit remains poor, your prescription glasses may be too large or unusually shaped for this model.
Lenses are fogging up during use.
Ensure there is adequate ventilation around your face. Proper fit can help, but fogging can occur in humid or high-exertion environments. Consider using an anti-fog treatment or cleaning the lenses as per care instructions.
Vision is blurry or distorted.
Clean the lenses thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth and appropriate lens cleaner. Ensure the glasses are positioned correctly on your face and over your prescription eyewear. Check for any scratches on the lens that may impair vision.
Side arms feel loose or keep slipping.
Re-adjust the extendable and inclinable side arms to achieve a snugger fit. Ensure the arms are fully extended or retracted to the desired position and locked in place. If the arms are damaged, consider replacing the glasses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These over-glasses are designed for immediate use. Simply place them over your prescription glasses, ensuring they sit comfortably and securely. Adjust the extendable and inclinable side arms for a personalized fit.
Compatibility:
The PS30 is engineered to fit over most standard prescription glasses. However, very large or uniquely shaped prescription frames may present fit challenges. Test the fit with your specific prescription eyewear before relying on them for critical tasks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the lenses with a soft, damp cloth or a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for eyeglasses. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the anti-scratch coating or polycarbonate lens.
- Storage: Store the PS30 glasses in a clean, dry place, preferably in a protective case or their original retail bag when not in use to prevent scratches and damage.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the glasses for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the lens or frame, or loose-fitting arms. Discontinue use if damage is apparent.
