Question:
I have three pairs of polycarbonate safety glasses. I hate to put them
on because they (very slightly) distort my vision. If I wear them for
long I'm at risk of getting a headache, and it's hard to do anything
that requires precision while wearing them. But having bought three
sets, I have no reason to believe that a fourth set will be better.
Where can I find safety glasses that don't distort?
Answer:
I'd think, if you don't need glasses, you could still to an optometrist
and get "prescription" safety glasses with non-rx lenses.
I have a few pairs of Uvex Genesis safety glasses - my wife gets them
free from her work, but they're available if you look around or DAGS.
I've found them very comfortable and I can't see any distortion at all
- they come in various types of tinted lenses and clear. My wife and
her co-workers wear them all day long at work and have never had any
complaints about comfort or distortion.
I had the same problem with some safety glasses I recently bought at Sam's
Club. Slight optical distortion plus they attract dust like crazy. No
headaches because I didn't wear them for long.
I'm looking for a recommendation on safety glasses too. All of mine are
scratched from laying on concrete and such.
Can you get them tinted with a bifocal reading section built in? I saw
some in a catalog somewhere but I can't remember where. I have a
clear pair with a 250 power reading bifocal that are so old that the
label has faded. They are polycarbonate but don't have any
distortion. They have the adjustable ear pieces that make they very
comfortable. I'm looking for the same thing tinted for outdoor work.
I bought mine from harborfreight for one pair and the other I got at
advance auto both seem decent nice clear vision and not too scratched up
considering how much they get beat around
