Safety glasses or eye shields are used where there is a potential of eyes being
contaminated by environmental hazards such as chemical splashes or sprays, particles
and irritants. Modern eye shields are available with adjustable temple lengths and angle
adjustments, pliable, adjustable nose-pads and a variety of ventilation options ensuring
the best possible fit and performance. As well as anti-scratch coating lenses can be coated
to prevent fogging or optimize lens clarity. Side shields can be fitted and offer additional
protection from the side.
Goggles may be used as a substitute for safety glasses with side shields. The adjustable
elasticated strap used in place of the side arms offer a more secure fit in applications
where the individual me be mobile or inverted.
Face shields or safety visors are used when facial skin protection is needed. They are
usually made from polycarbonate, which unless coated do not provide protection against
chemical splash. For use with chemicals it is best to use an acetate face shield. Face
shields should be used in conjunction with eye protection. A face shield is not a substitute
for the safety glasses or goggles.
Safety goggles are a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) that is worn on the eye
for its protection. Essentially, goggles are safety glasses that fit tightly to the eye, often
with suction, and are secured with a strap that goes around the back of the head. Goggles
may be used to protect the eye against particles, chemicals, water, glare and from things
striking the eyes.
Safety Glasses
For a good majority of eye protection needs, you’ll probably want to wear safety glasses.
The safety frames, safety lenses and side shields will provide adequate protection and
safety from flying objects. Safety glasses help protect your eyes from objects that could
bruise, pierce or damage the eyes and are tested to withstand high impacts. Safety frames
are tested to ensure they can withstand the impact from a 1/4” steel ball traveling at 150
fps (feet per second) without dislodging the lenses. Safety lenses for safety glasses are
tested to withstand impact from a 1/4” steel ball shot at 150 fps.
Safety Goggles
While safety glasses protect from high impact, they do not provide complete eye
protection from all elements in the air because there are small gaps around the top, sides
and bottom. There are many work and sport environments in which safety goggles would
be a better choice to provide complete eye protection. Safety googles provide complete
360 degree coverage around the eyes and includes a strap to help hold the goggles
securely against your face. They also usually contain breathing or ventilation holes to
help with air flow.
In most cases, you won’t wear prescription safety goggles. Most people wear their
regular dress prescription glasses or prescription safety glasses with the safety goggles
overtop for the added protection. Here’s an example of when you would want to put
safety goggles on over your glasses or safety glasses. If you are grinding metal, you don’t
want the debris metal fragments to ruin your safety glasses. Especially with glass lenses,
the metal fragments can stick, burn and pit the lenses. And with the metal fragments
flying through the air, it would be easy for them to whisp around your glasses and into
your eyes. With the 360 degree fit around the glasses, your safety glass lenses and your
eyes are completely protected.
When trying to decide if you need safety glasses or safety goggles, the answer might be
both. But it really depends on if you need a prescription to see clearly and if you are ever
dealing with fine particles or debris that can be air borne.

Kacamata pengaman atau pelindung mata digunakan jika ada potensi mata
terkontaminasi oleh bahaya lingkungan seperti percikan kimia atau semprotan, partikel
dan iritasi. Pelindung mata modern tersedia dengan penyesuaian panjang candi dan
penyesuaian sudut, bantalan hidung yang fleksibel dan dapat disesuaikan, dan berbagai
pilihan ventilasi yang memastikan kecocokan dan kinerja terbaik. Serta lensa anti gores

perlindungan dan keamanan yang memadai dari benda-benda terbang. Kacamata pengaman
membantu melindungi mata Anda dari benda-benda yang dapat memar, menusuk atau merusak
mata dan diuji untuk menahan benturan tinggi. Kerangka pengaman diuji untuk memastikan
mereka dapat menahan benturan dari bola baja 1/4 ”yang melaju pada 150 fps (kaki per detik)
tanpa melepaskan lensa. Lensa keamanan untuk kacamata keselamatan diuji untuk menahan
benturan dari bola baja 1/4 inci pada 150 fps.
Kacamata pelindung
Sementara kacamata pengaman melindungi dari benturan tinggi, mereka tidak memberikan
perlindungan mata lengkap dari semua elemen di udara karena ada celah kecil di sekitar bagian
atas, samping dan bawah. Ada banyak lingkungan kerja dan olahraga di mana kacamata
keselamatan akan menjadi pilihan yang lebih baik untuk memberikan perlindungan mata
