Safety glasses come with seemingly endless combinations of features. From frame style and colour to lens coating and safety standards, there is safety glasses for any given situation.
Lens colours create even more options. With a wide range of colours and gradients, each option has a specific purpose. Choosing the correct colour depends on the environment and lighting conditions combined with the unique needs and preferences of the wearer.
Smoke Lens Safety Glasses
These are best suited for use in the brightest of environments, including outdoor use. The smoke colour reduces the light that reaches the eyes and makes it much easier to see clearly and focus. A good example of this is the Bollé Voodoo Smoke Lens Safety Glasses, which use translucent polycarbonate frame with rubber nose pads and temple tips with anti-fog and anti-scratch coating.
Clear Lens Safety Glasses
Clear is the the most common lens option, as they offer good mechanical protection and while still protecting against UV light, are ideal for indoor conditions as they do not limit vision. Our top pick would be the Bolle 1662301FB Rush+ Seal Platinum Clear Lens that features the new platinum coating with a high performance anti-fog plus anti-scratch coating system applied on both sides of lenses.
Amber Or Yellow Lens Safety Glasses
Amber or yellow tints are able to make low-light environments appear brighter due to the large amount of light allowed to pass through the lenses. They also increase contrast and depth perception, and even block harmful blue light.
This is helpful in overcast weather, dimly lit storerooms, or even in heavily shaded areas outside. Our recommended choice would be the Safetek Flare Amber Lens that features revolutionary contoured lens design that maximises protection.
Polarised Safety Glasses
Polarised lenses work differently than regular tinted lenses by eliminating unwanted glare from reflected light. Anyone working in proximity to large surfaces that reflect light is in danger of scattered rays from multiple directions. Job sites with large metal containers, big sheets of glass, parking lots, roads, water, or even snow, make eyes susceptible to strain by consistently squinting and trying to avoid glare.
Each lens colour serves a different function in benefiting your vision. Finding the right coloured safety glasses is a step in the right direction.
