PSG Eyewear are proud to offer the groundbreaking anti-fog coating, Optifog® developed and manufactured by Essilor.

The Optifog® lens has unique, hydrophilic top layers with inherent fog repellence properties. The anti-fog top layers placed on the Optifog lens are activated with the Optifog Activator Cloth.

Just use the Optifog Activator Cloth whenever you clean your lenses.

This coating is ideal for professionals who frequently move from hot to cold environments or are required to wear masks or helmets, often experiencing foggy lenses. Optifog® lenses offer an optimised solution to the inconvenience of fog.

PSG Eyewear's safety glasses are designed to withstand demanding work environments. The polycarbonate lenses are impact resistant and supplied, as standard, with a durable hard coating that provides excellent scratch resistance.

However, it is important to note that no ophthalmic (prescription) lens is completely 'scratch proof'. Any lens can become scratched if they come into contact with abrasive materials or if not cleaned and stored properly.

Proper care, cleaning and storage will help maximise the life of any lenses. For cleaning, PSG recommends use warm soapy water or specialised lens cleaning spray and a soft cloth (such as the cloth supplied - these need to be washed or replaced regularly). Best practice is to clean your lenses while wet to avoid dust and dirt scratching the lenses.

Do not use anything other than the suggested items to clean your glasses (such as shirt, rough towel or aloe vera tissues).

Commonly used substances, including sunscreens, are known to degrade some eye protector materials. Contact with such substances should be regularly cleaned off the spectacles after use.

Keep your PSG Safety glasses in the supplied case when not in use.

Prescription safety glasses should not be left unworn under direct sunlight (heat) for extended periods of time, such as in vehicles.
