What exactly are ultraviolet rays? Are they harmful?

Solar ultraviolet (UV) rays are high-energy, invisible light rays; sunlight is the primary source of UV photons in the environment. UV light is classified into three types: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA is the most common type of ultraviolet radiation. UVA contains longer wavelengths and is more easily transmitted through the glass. Nonetheless, experts are divided on whether or not UVA is harmful to the eyes. As a result of the Earth's atmosphere, UVC rays are not able to reach the planet.

UVB rays are the most damaging, which is why wearing prescription safety sunglasses and applying sunscreen is essential. So, it’s important that you get safety sunglasses from RX Safety Glasses!

When do UV rays have an impact on my eyes?

Sunlight is most intense between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., but that isn't the only period that UV rays can cause damage to your eyes. Have your sunglasses available if you'll be in or near snow, water, sand, or other reflective surfaces, or if you'll be driving in bright sunlight (windshields are a big glare source).

In addition, UV radiation from sunlamps, tanning beds, photosensitizing medicines, high altitudes, and closeness to the equator increase your chances of developing eye damage from the sun. UV rays can be more harmful than you may think. So, give the best protection to your eyes by purchasing the best safety sunglasses by RX Safety Glasses.

What colors are preferred for prescription safety sunglasses?

The tint of your sunglass lenses is a matter of personal preference, and it has no bearing on how well they protect your eyes from ultraviolet light. Gray and brown are popular colors because they affect color perception the least amount compared to other colors.

Other hues are frequently preferred by athletes because of their ability to increase contrast. Consider the popularity of yellow lenses among skiers and target shooters, who use them because they perform well in low light, minimize haze and boost contrast, which results in a clearer image.

Is it possible for polarized safety sunglasses built for specific sports to make a real difference?

Yes. Polarized safety sunglasses in general is considered to be safer than ordinary sunglasses because the lenses and frames are composed of special materials that are less prone to shatter if struck. Wearing polarized safety sunglasses can provide you with the benefits of both sunglasses and protective eyewear in one package.

Additionally, various tints can improve your vision when participating in particular sports. As an example, amber and brown lenses are popular among golfers because they increase the contrast between the ball and the fairways, greens, and the sky above the course.

Is it possible to purchase a prescription safety frame without lenses?

Prescription safety frames cannot be supplied without the prescription lenses already installed in them.

We can’t provide a frame on its own to repair a damaged frame. Prescription lenses must be fitted at the time of purchase because of severe safety regulations. Additionally, prescription lenses must be checked simultaneously with the lenses being purchased. RX Safety Glasses does not sell any of its prescription safety glasses without lenses as a result of this policy. It is always advisable to purchase the frame and lenses together. If you are planning to buy good quality polarized safety sunglasses on a budget then do check out our exclusive range from our website!

What materials are used to make prescription safety sunglasses?

Our safety glasses are made using polycarbonate, trilogy or trivex, or phoenix material, depending on the prescription safety sunglasses you choose to buy. All of the materials are high-impact polymers that can endure ballistic tests. In order to make them as impact-resistant as possible, all of the plastics used have a greater index of hardness.

Before you ask, the answer is no, we are unable to build your prescription safety glasses with glass lenses, despite the fact that glass lenses are more scratch-resistant. Remember that even with chemical hardening, glass lenses are not impervious to high-speed projectiles or repeated drops. Please keep this in mind while purchasing prescription safety sunglasses!

What Should You Look for in Prescription Safety Sunglasses?

It can be exciting buying new prescription safety sunglasses. When choosing your next pair, you need to look at the frames and lenses and choose one that has the best combination of these two factors. The good news is that you can pick and choose from a wide selection. All that you have to ensure is that you are buying an affordable pair and that you can personalize your next pair to suit specific requirements.

How to choose the best prescription safety sunglasses?

The first thing to look for in your new prescription safety sunglasses is their weight. It makes sense to choose a lightweight pair that is comfortable and which fits your face perfectly. Another thing to look for is the color of both the frames and lenses. When choosing safety sunglasses, make sure that the lenses have high-definition optics and that they are made using the best technologies. You should also pick a pair that has ANSI certification for optimal protection against debris as well as the elements. Some pairs are military-approved – meaning that they provide a level of protection for your eyes that is unmatched by other pairs. They also have special lenses that offer greater security as well as protection for your eyes. Impact-resistant frames and lenses are also a good option as they will offer greater security to you from objects that might strike the safety sunglasses at high speeds. One other thing that you need to look for in your safety sunglasses is lenses with anti-fog treatment. Without this treatment, the lenses will fog up easily and obscure your vision.

Who needs prescription safety sunglasses?

People that have vision problems and who work in dangerous environments are the ones that need to wear prescription safety sunglasses. They need the right prescription type which could be single vision, bifocal or trifocal as well as progressive lenses. They are also perfect for workers that need to see clearly and who need protection against sparks and wood shavings as well as other airborne hazards. These safety sunglasses are also required by those who need to protect their eyes against the dangerous UV rays of the sun.

What do I need to consider before buying prescription safety sunglasses?

There are several things to consider before buying prescription safety sunglasses. For one, you need to choose a pair with convertible temples so that you have total protection for your eyes from loose materials. A pair with convertible temples will ensure that the temples either shrink or expand to accommodate your head size. The next thing to look for in your safety sunglasses is a pair with flexible frames. This is required to ensure that your safety sunglasses last for long as they won’t break easily and they also offer added protection for your eyes. Also, look for a pair with detachable straps. This really depends on how you plan on wearing your prescription safety sunglasses. If you want the sunglasses to remain securely in place then you need to choose a pair with a strap – preferably one that can be adjusted to suit the size of your head. You also need to choose a pair with ANSI Z87 certification which will ensure that your sunglasses will not break easily as they have been certified to withstand high impacts. You should also ensure that the frames of your safety sunglasses are optical grade as only these types of frames can accommodate prescription lenses.

Whether you need prescription safety sunglasses for hobby work or for working in dangerous environments, you must ensure that your eyes are suitably protected. You need these sunglasses to protect you when working as a metal sculptor as well as when making metal artwork.

When the time comes to choose prescription safety sunglasses, make sure that you pick a pair that not only protects your eyes but is also attractive. The good news is that it is not hard to find attractive safety sunglasses with prescriptions. Many of the companies that make this kind of eyewear are introducing some very trendy items. So, you can combine form with function. Also, the good news is that protecting your eyes is not as costly as it once was. There are plenty of affordable options available to you. So be sure to check them out.

Prescription safety sunglasses offer several benefits. For example, they ensure perfect visual clarity and they also help to reduce glare. They can be customized to suit your needs and offer excellent UV Protection. It is important to wear these sunglasses to protect your eyes and to enjoy perfect vision.

I have to say I've had one pair of these glasses for 3 years and wore them everyday and it wasn't until about a week ago that they broke! These glasses are worth every penny and I will be buying more than one when I repurchase today. They're cute and trendy and I always received compliments on them. I would not only recommend these to a friend but to a complete stranger too!

I've ordered these glasses twice and love them. You just can't get any better quality for the price. These glasses easily hold up against any glasses I've bought from my eye doctor, which run upwards of $200 because I have a high prescription. I will continue to use this website-the quality and service is unmatched.

After spending almost a crazy amount on glasses from my doctor, I despised them. Out of desperation I came here and started printing out different frames. I have a small face and had a difficult time finding frames that weren't too wide. I wish they gave more information on how to understand the measurement between the lenses. I picked the Trento because of the overall width and the smaller nose piece measurement. They are perfect! They fit so comfortably and for some reason, my vision while on my tablet or computer is so much better than with my expensive glasses. The only upgrade I got was the non-reflective coating. I'm never buying glasses from my doc again!

Ever since finding https://www.glassespeople.com, I always purchase my eyeglasses and sunglasses through this website. We live in a rural area, without a lot of options for optical needs. GlassesPeople makes it very easy to submit my specifications, select the eyewear/sunglasses that work best for me, and do so in a fast efficient manner.

Your "try me" function works great. As soon as my eye center is back to work I will be ordering sports sunglasses with my new prescription. Perfect for my motorcycle riding.

Glasses People has been my go-to for glasses for years and always will be! The styles, selection, pricing and delivery are exceptional! The prescription is always accurate and the return policy is great.

The selection and quality of the sports sunglasses are excellent! And, there's no other site that can beat the price. The only drawback is the amount of time it takes for your order to be fulfilled and shipped. It's totally worth the wait, though.

These frames are everything I wanted. Honestly didn’t think it would be what I wanted and had the mindset of being disappointed, but when I received my new glasses it was everything I wanted. My prescription was spot on and the frame fits perfect. I get so many compliments and the frame doesn’t feel cheap at all. Definitely will be ordering a lot more pairs considering it’s super affordable.
