The ViewMaster safety glasses with polarised lenses provide 99.9% UV protection and have been designed specifically for general industrial eye safety usage both indoors and on site.
Employees enjoy protection from reflected glare along with reduced eye strain and enhanced vision.
They are ideal for use by plant and agricultural equipment drivers, offshore and shipping operatives, machinery operators and a wide range of other users who may be affected by reflective glare in the course of their work.
The classic streamlined frame is made from durable GS7 nylon with ergonomically designed temples and pressure pads to enhance comfortable and precise fit.
Finished in a metallic grey finish with the Smith and Wesson brand on the left temple, these spectacles also come with a handsome silk-like microfibre carrying pouch which doubles as cleaning cloth.
These new spectacles meet DIN EN 166 EC Health and Protection Directive on Personal Protective Equipment 89/686/EEC and exceed the American National Standards Institute ANSI Z87.1+ high impact standards and requirements.
What is a polarised lens? When three dimensional light from the sun hits a reflective surface such as water, snow, a wet road or a windscreen it becomes polarised or profusely two dimensional often called reflected glare, i.e more intense than surrounding light.
This results in unsafe conditions, and increases eye strain by creating a bursting effect on surrounding colours.
For example, on the surface of water, reflected glare becomes a barrier that keep you from seeing down into or across clear water.
A quality polarised lens eliminates all reflected glare that hits the lens and a portion that hits from other angles, thereby helping to eliminate eyestrain and allowing you to see safely your surroundings in natural state.
This allows those working on water to view above and below the water surface, by eliminating reflection.
