Do I need side shields for my prescription safety glasses?

Industrial safety standards like ANSI Z87.1 stipulate lateral coverage requirements for side protection of the eyes. This coverage requirement can be meet by adding removable side shields or by having them “integrated.” At SafeVision.com we have styles available in either option. Integrated models often look like high wrap frames similar to the design of high performance sports sunglasses. Our styles that feature removable side shields are great for wearing after work too!
