Yes, PSG prescription safety glasses are specifically designed and manufactured to provide excellent eye protection. PSG offers a wide range of models including those with integrated side shields all the way to the bottom of the frame front, wrap around designs and foam backed designs that help shield from particles, dust, debris and other workplace hazards from multiple angles; front, top and sides.

Not only do PSG frames look good, but they are also, most importantly, fit for purpose.

If you are unsure which PSG frame provides the level of protection required for your workplace, our team is happy to assist you in choosing the most suitable option.

Frames made from smooth, non porous materials are generally the easiest to maintain. Many of PSG Eyewear's prescription safety frames are made from these materials, such as TR-90; they have smooth surfaces that can be cleaned as part of normal workplace hygiene processes. Frames with simple designs, fewer grooves or textures are easier to keep clean, such as frames with moulded nose bridges instead of separate attached parts.

If you work in healthcare or other hygiene critical environments, PSG Eyewear can recommend frame styles within our range that are durable, easy to clean and compatible with your other required PPE.

Prescription safety glasses can provide a level of protection against accidental splashes and airborne droplets. However, they are not a substitute for eye protection required for procedures with a high risk of exposure to blood or bodily fluids.

The level of protection required depends on the task being performed and your workplace infection control policies. For many healthcare applications, prescription safety glasses worn in conjunction with other PPE such as fully sealed goggles or face shields. Full face masks can provide an additional level of protection where there is a risk of splashes or sprays.

PSG Eyewear offers certified prescription safety glasses that can be work comfortably alongside other PPE. We recommend taking your PPE with you when selecting your safety glasses to ensure compatibility and a comfortable fit.

Always follow your employers PPE requirements and infection prevention control procedures for your specific work environment.
