Safety glasses are used to protect the eyes during activities that can involve an eye injury. Safety glasses minimize injury risks during activities like sports, woodworking and some types of art–like sculpting, lampworking, quartzworking, welding or metalworking, and while on the job in industries like construction.

According to a survey, 10 to 20% of injuries occurring at work result in permanent or temporary vision loss. Therefore, there is a critical need to protect your eyes from any potential injury.

There are many Safety glasses available in the market that can protect against work hazards, including eye injuries from flying bits of glass or metal, chemicals in the air and harmful radiation.

Prescription safety glasses have become a part of the tool kit for many professionals, including the people in the construction trades (e.g. welders), and in military and law enforcement careers.

Below is a brief overview on the types of safety and recreational glasses available in the market and their use:

Driving Glasses
If your eyes are sensitive and the glare of the headlights bother you while driving at night, you should invest in driving glasses.

Clear lenses with AR Coating are one of the best options for night time driving as it minimizes internal reflections within the lenses, reducing halo problems, and increases the transmittance of light through the lens to the eye. My personal favorite general purpose lens for driving at night is our Sheer Glare peach/light beige AR coated lens. I find these to be most effective for various driving conditions. They do a much better job at eliminating a portion of the glare from the headlights than the clear ones. Yellow is another option for night driving lenses. These will sharpen and enhance your viewing area. One negative of these lenses is they give the driver a feeling of seeing better, but on the other hand, the reverse actually happens. However, there is no magic wand that can improve night time driving. Get your eyes examined regularly and wear an up-to-date prescription. If you have regular problems while driving at night, consult an ophthalmologist.

Computer Glasses
Spending a significant time on your computer? You need to have computer glasses as a protective measure to save your eyes. We carry various lens tints and Gunnar Optiks glasses for computer work. You can also get the computer lenses in reading glasses and they lessen the symptoms associated with Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).

Headaches, tired eyes, burning eyes, watering eyes, itching eyes, dry eyes, double vision, blurred vision, eye fatigue, bloodshot eyes, sore eyes, irritated eyes and eye pain are some of the symptoms of CVS. Computer eye glasses relieve eye strain headaches caused by eye muscle fatigue.

Radiation Protection Glasses
Radiation Protection glasses are worn by people who are at potential risk of radiation exposure because of their specific work demands. This protective eye wear is designed for people working in X-ray labs, hospitals, etc. They shield the sensitive parts of the eye from ionizing radiation. The eyes, being the most sensitive area of the body, are most vulnerable to radiation. They should be safeguarded from damage by using high-quality lead glasses for each and every x-ray procedure. Medical facilities should take adequate steps to protect their medical personnel and patients by implementing the use of radiation glasses for hospital, dental practice and x-ray labs.

Sports Protection Glasses
There are also eye protectors used by sportsmen to protect the eye from insects, dust, wind blast, etc. Skiers should use effective sun shields to protect their eyes from UV rays from the sun. Infection control glasses can be used for protection against eye flu infections. Polarized glasses are helpful to fisherman for fishing and for outdoor water sports by reducing the reflective glare. We also carry a full line of riding glasses in polarized and non polarized lens styles.

Protective Sunglasses
People wear sunscreen to protect their skin while going out in the harsh sunlight and wearing sunglasses does the same for your eyes. Exposure to bright sunlight by the naked eye may increase the risk of developing cataracts, age related muscular degeneration and growths on the eye, including cancer.

However, not all sunglasses provide the same eye shield protection. The quality of a good sunglass should be that it blocks UV rays. Don’t be deceived by color or cost. The ability to block UV light is not dependent on the price tag or how dark the sunglass lenses are. Also, make sure the sunglasses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. They should also wrap all the way around to your temples so the sun’s rays can’t enter from the side. Even if your wear corrective lenses, it is important to protect your eyes from the suns rays.

Laser Safety Glasses
Moderate and high-power lasers are potentially hazardous because they can burn the retina of the eye. This can be prevented by wearing laser safety goggles when operating lasers. Laser safety glasses provide CE certified laser radiation protection. The comfortable frame style can be used over the top of prescription lenses and has top and side shields to protect the user’s eyes from peripheral laser radiation.

Adidas is one of the biggest manufacturers of sporting goods in the world today, with global sales in the billions of dollars and a brand that is almost universally recognized. But it wasn’t always that way.

Adolf Dassler started to make sports shoes in his mother’s laundry room in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, after returning from World War I. He was joined in 1924 by his brother Rudolf Dassler. Together they ran what became known as the Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory, with some success, but also not without difficulty. In those early days, the electricity supplies was very hit and miss, sometimes leaving the brothers no choice but to pedal a stationary bicycle to run their equipment.

The turning point for this fledgling company came in 1936, at the Summer Olympics. Adolf drove from Bavaria to Berlin on one of the world’s first Freeways. At the Olympic village, and lugging a suitcase full of spikes, he persuaded the United States’ sprinter Jesse Owens to use them. This was first time anyone had sponsored an African-American. Owens, of course, swept the board and won four gold medals. This success made him world famous and brought Dassler shoes to the attention of sportsmen. Interested in their shoes snowballed and orders flooded in. Before World War II, they were selling 200,000 pairs of shoes each year.

Tensions between the brothers smoldered for years until eventually erupting into a major falling out. They went there separate ways in 1947. Rudolph formed a company called Ruda (from Rudolph Dassler) which later became the brand Puma and is still around today. Adolph took his nickname of “Adi,” paired it with Dassler and got Adidas.

The company today is a massive global concern that rivals the number one brand Nike in the sports shoe market. The 3 stripes logo has become famous and forays into new markets have become common. Soccer, Tennis, Rugby, Track and Field can all boast significant sponsorships.

Like many other sporting goods manufacturers, Adidas has now produced a range of designer sunglasses. It might seem like a left turn in some ways, but keep in mind this is not so much high fashion as high performance. Adidas eyewear is unisex with tinted polarized lenses and sleek profiles. Many styles look as if they’ve been sculpted by a wind tunnel rather than a person, and the chances are that some probably have.

The Alibria A835 in ‘shiny khaki gray’ are a nod to aviators but look as if the aviator lenses have been fused to something much more futuristic. Lightweight and versatile, they are affordable and go anywhere, looking good on the beach or sweating under winter sun on the slopes.

The real standouts in terms of Star Trek ‘look at us-ness’ are the silver and orange SUPERNOVA A150. A one piece panel visor with a smoky brown tint is gripped by futuristic curved silver arms with a stripey orange inlay. They’re sure to attract attention and would look fabulous whether you skate, bike or jump out of planes. Even Jesse Owens would have liked them.

Discovering the great pair of shades can surely be a challenge for both gentlemen and females. With so many options available, it can be tricky to determine which pair is the correct fit. Numerous diverse aspects go into designing gender-specific sun shades that are fashionable and trendy.

When men pay for shades, they usually opt for styles that are more traditional in nature. Men’s sun shades are usually shades of black, gray, or brown, while the lenses are normally oval or rectangular. Men tend to prefer shades that reflect classic shapes and styles, and modern fashions do not play a large role in their selection. Women tend to be a little more flamboyant with their choice of shades. No shape, style, or color is taboo. Although many women prefer oversized shades, current trends and seasonal colors play a big part in selecting the perfect pair. Light pinks and other pastels are perfect for spring and summer, while darker colors are more commonplace in cooler weather.
Men’s shades often follow the same trends year after year. This is why men’s sun shades are timeless, and a good pair never goes out of style. For women, this summer’s top style choice is larger-than-life frames that cover a good portion of the face. These eyewear stand for both a fashion statement as well as a health precaution. UV protective lenses in these glasses add an additional layer of protection from the sun’s destructive rays, and the augmented coverage area means less fine lines and wrinkles in the future. Another trend many people are leaning toward is self-darkening lenses. These lenses eliminate the need for a separate pair of sunglasses for people who wear prescription glasses for sight correction. They precisely sense the amount of sunlight in their surroundings and get lighter or darker for that reason.
In the future, trends for men’s sunglasses are likely to stay the same. While slight variations in shape and color may help modernize the overall look, men will likely continue to fall back upon traditional style choices. Women, on the other hand, are very innovative. Willing to take fashion risks and be the first to wear new styles, women’s eye wear and sunglasses are forever changing and being redesigned. It is anticipated that the current styles will remain fashionable during the next several years, with slight variances in lens shapes and sizes. As with any craze, sunglass trends phase in and out. For instance, Aviator-style sun shades were popular from the 1930s until the 1980s. After this time frame, they were phased out and replaced by the more ‘modern’ styles that we see today. That said, as of today, Aviator-style sun shades are quickly gaining popularity once again.

For both men and women, sunglasses are a direct indication of their personalities and vogue choices. No matter if they are going for a conservative look or something much louder, a pair of sunglasses can finish off any look. It has been said that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, but there is a pair of sunglasses for any age, gender, and personality right here on Earth.

Ray Ban sunglasses have served generations of eyewear buyers. Introduced in 1937 they became an instant classic, combining stylish good looks with state-of-the-art eye protection. And they still have those qualities more than 73 years later.

Ray Ban sunglasses were invented by Bausch & Lomb for the United States Air Force. One its pilots asked for some sunglasses which would protect his eyes from the sun and also look elegant.

The photo-chromatic lenses also react to different light conditions and adjust. They turn dark in sunlight and become clear when inside or in low light conditions. Unlike some sunglasses, the Ray Ban lenses transmit all colors equally so that the wearer sees accurately and enjoys all the natural colors.
