FAQs
What type of protection do these glasses offer?
These glasses offer protection against particles, impact, and glare, along with UV protection. They are certified for anti-scratch and anti-fog performance.
Are the lenses interchangeable?
The PS13 Mega KN Safety Glasses feature a half-frame style with two lenses. While designed for durability, individual lens replacement is not a standard feature for this model. If lenses are significantly damaged, replacement of the entire unit is typically recommended.
Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?
These are designed as primary safety eyewear and are not typically designed as over-prescription glasses. For combined protection, consider Portwest's range of over-prescription safety glasses.
What does 'KN-certified' mean?
'K' certification refers to anti-scratch resistance, while 'N' certification refers to anti-fog properties of the lens coatings.
How should I clean the glasses to maintain their coatings?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap, rinse with water, and allow to air dry. Avoid solvents, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners which can damage the anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings.
What standards do these glasses meet?
They meet EN 166 1 FT, K, N; EN 170 2C-1.2; and EN 172 5-3.1 standards, and are CE certified.
What materials are the glasses made from?
The glasses are constructed from 90% Polycarbonate and 10% TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) for the browguard and temple tips.
Troubleshooting
Glasses fog up despite anti-fog coating.
Ensure lenses are clean. Re-wash with mild soap and water. Ensure the glasses fit snugly, as gaps can allow warm, moist air to reach the lenses. Consider using an anti-fog spray designed for safety glasses if fogging persists in extreme conditions.
Scratches on lenses.
The anti-scratch coating provides resistance but is not indestructible. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods. If scratches impair vision, the lenses may need replacement (if possible for the model) or the glasses may need to be replaced.
Glasses slip down the nose.
Adjust the extendable side arms for a tighter fit. Ensure the rubber temple tips are correctly positioned behind the ears for maximum grip. Clean the temple tips to remove any oils or dirt that might reduce grip.
Browguard feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the side arms are adjusted to the correct length and angle. The browguard is designed for protection and may require a brief adjustment period for comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care:
To maintain the anti-scratch and anti-fog properties, follow these cleaning instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth or a neutral soap solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or alcohol-based solutions, as these can damage the lens coatings and frame. Store in the provided retail bag when not in use to protect from scratches.
