Prescription Safety Glasses.

Protect Your Vision at Work, Without Compromise

See Clearly. Stay Protected.

Eye injuries in the workplace are common but largely preventable with the right eyewear. Prescription safety glasses protect your vision while keeping it clear on the job — a critical part of workplace safety compliance for anyone who needs vision correction.

Unlike regular prescription glasses, which can shatter under impact, safety glasses are purpose-built:

  • Impact-resistant materials tested to Australian safety standards
  • Stronger frame construction designed for durability
  • Side shields for peripheral protection
  • Wider coverage and a more secure fit
  • Certified compliance marking for workplace use

And they don’t have to be bulky or unattractive — we stock modern safety frames from Australia’s leading brands, with styles to suit every job, face shape, and personal look. Visit us for a professional fitting and personalised advice on lenses, coatings, and frame options.

Why Choose Our Safety Eyewear

Whether you’re on a construction site, in a workshop, or working in a lab, the right eyewear should protect your eyes without getting in the way of your day. Here’s what sets our safety eyewear apart.

Meets Australian Standards

Our safety frames and lenses comply with AS/NZS 1337.1, tested for high impact resistance, optical clarity, and durability under workplace conditions.

Comfort Without Compromise

Modern safety frames designed for all-day wear, so protection never comes at the cost of comfort.

Suited to Your Industry

A wide range of styles suitable for construction, industrial, laboratory, and trade environments, with options like side shields and dust seals where needed.

Expert Fitting Advice

Our team helps match you with the right lens and frame combination for your prescription and job.

Frame Considerations for Different Work Environments

Choosing the right frame is just as important as selecting the correct lenses.

Electrical Work

Non-conductive materials such as plastic help reduce the risk of electrical conductivity.

Dusty or Industrial Environments

Wraparound frames, dust-sealing gaskets, and close-fitting designs help keep particles out.

Mechanical & Trade Work

Strong, impact-resistant, secure-fitting frames that stay in place and work with helmets or face shields if required.

Laboratory & Chemical Environments

Sealed or semi-sealed frames help protect against chemical splashes and airborne irritants.

Who Needs Prescription Safety Glasses?

If your job puts your eyes at risk of impact, dust, chemicals, or other hazards, prescription safety glasses give you clear vision and reliable protection in one. They’re commonly worn across industries such as:

  • Construction and trades
  • Manufacturing and warehousing
  • Mining and resources
  • Laboratories and healthcare
  • Automotive and mechanical work
  • Landscaping and agriculture

If you’re unsure whether your workplace requires safety eyewear, our team can help you understand the right level of protection for your role.

Safety Lens Materials

Both polycarbonate and Trivex meet safety standards, but offer different benefits depending on your needs.

Polycarbonate Lenses

Polycarbonate is widely used for safety eyewear due to its high impact resistance.

Advantages:

  • Excellent impact protection

  • Lightweight

  • Thin profile compared to standard plastic lenses

  • Built-in UV protection

Disadvantages:

  • More prone to scratches (requires quality hard coating)

  • Slightly lower optical clarity compared to Trivex

  • Can have more internal stress in higher prescriptions

Trivex is a newer lens material that combines safety with superior optical performance.

Advantages:

  • Excellent impact resistance (comparable to polycarbonate)

  • Better optical clarity and reduced distortion

  • Very lightweight

  • High resistance to cracking and stress

  • Good for drill-mounted or rimless safety frames

  • Superior chemical resistance

Disadvantages:

  • Slightly thicker than polycarbonate in some prescriptions

  • Generally, more expensive
