Ordering Prescription Safety Glasses Online

Ordering prescription safety glasses online is a convenient way to get protective eyewear that meets workplace safety standards.

SafeVision offers a selection of ANSI Z87.1-compliant frames and lens options designed for various work environments.

WHY ORDER ONLINE?

Ordering prescription safety glasses online offers convenience and flexibility that traditional in-store shopping cannot. Online retailers typically provide a wider selection of frames, lens materials, and specialty coatings, allowing customers to find eyewear tailored to their job functions and environmental conditions.

The digital shopping experience also makes comparing frame features easier, reviewing ANSI Z87.1 compliance markings, and reading verified customer feedback to inform your purchase.

In addition, many online platforms allow you to upload your prescription, choose lens add-ons like anti-fog or blue light filtering, and preview how your glasses will look—without leaving your home or workplace.

For companies managing employee safety programs, online ordering can simplify procurement by offering centralized account management, bulk order options, and direct-to-employee delivery, reducing administrative overhead while maintaining compliance with safety regulations.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FRAMES AND LENSES

When selecting safety glasses online, choosing frames that are durable and compliant with industry standards is important.

Look for frames that meet ANSI Z87.1 safety ratings, which indicate they have been tested for impact resistance and other protective features.

Some workplaces may require additional safety ratings, such as CSA Z94.3 for Canadian regulations or OSHA-approved eyewear to meet U.S. workplace safety guidelines.

Lens material is another key factor. Polycarbonate and Trivex^® lenses are the most popular choices for safety glasses due to their impact resistance, lightweight feel, and built-in UV protection. These materials provide a higher durability level than standard plastic or glass lenses.

UNDERSTANDING LENS COATINGS AND ADD-ONS

Prescription safety glasses can be customized with various coatings and lens treatments that enhance protection and visibility. Some of the most common options include:

Anti-fog coatings

Prevent condensation buildup in humid or temperature-changing environments.

Scratch-resistant coatings

Extend the lifespan of your prescription safety lenses.

Blue light filtering

Great for workers who spend long hours in front of digital screens.

Photochromic lenses

Automatically adjust to changing light conditions.

Before placing an order, check whether your workplace has specific safety requirements for lens coatings or tints. Some industries, such as welding or laboratory work, may require specialized protective filters.

HOW TO ORDER  PRESCRIPTION SAFETY GLASSES ONLINE

Ordering prescription safety glasses online is straightforward, but accuracy is key. 

Get an updated prescription

Before ordering, ensure your prescription is current and includes details like pupillary distance (PD) needed for proper lens alignment. Generally, eyeglass prescriptions are valid for 1-2 years depending on where you live. However, it’s important to consult with an eye care professional to determine the specific expiration date before placing an online order.

Choose safety-rated frames

Verify that the frames meet ANSI Z87.1 or other required safety standards.

Select the right lens material and coatings

Consider factors like impact resistance, anti-fog properties, and UV protection.

Review customization options

If your workplace has specific safety requirements, confirm that your glasses include the necessary features.

Check return policies and warranties

Since safety glasses must fit properly, look for online retailers that offer adjustments, exchanges, or warranties if the fit is not ideal.
