Pro Tool Reviews: I remember my first safety glasses well. I was working for the power company, and they were the most uncomfortable, ugliest glasses I ever wore. Fortunately, ANSI-certified eye protection has merged with designers who have an eye for style, and today’s best safety glasses are a sight for sore eyes.

Having the wrong pair of safety glasses can make a day of work absolutely horrible. From fighting to keep them on your face to keeping them from fogging up. The selection of what glasses will meet your needs and how they fit to your face is ultimately up to you. Due to the range of glasses out there and the many price points I ask myself, what is too much money to spend on a pair of safety glasses? I am actually to the stage in my life where im thinking about investing in a pair but one thing I have experienced is after using a single pair for an extended period of time I end up just wanting to not use it because of the scratches or when im working trying to see something the scratches are blurring my vision and I end up yanking them off my face to see clearly what im doing. So spending $200 on a pair that I may never want to use again because it has scratches on the lens. Feels like a poor investment.
While it was interesting the see the variety and kinds of options available from this list, it was slightly unfortunate that there weren’t over glasses options (or at least one option) included in the list. I increasingly find it difficult to find a pair of safety glasses that comfortably fit over regular glasses (even though I have landed on a set pair at the moment) especially when incorporating over ear protection or safety masks to combat particulates. While it is also true that it is better to buy a pair of prescription eye protection from your glasses provider (assuming they carry such an option), it nonetheless would be nice to see options like that for this kind of work. As a last note, I wonder about the physics behind the manufacturing of these glasses as certain pairs have the same material across the entire glasses whereas a lot in this list have a different frame. Does the frame carry the same rating as the glasses material? Is there a certain specification on how much of the surrounding frame has to be there for it to be safe? How much of the frame can be open without it being a concern?
Having bad safety glasses is literally the worst. I know that wearing them is super important but it is so annoying. as someone who wears normal prescription glasses, if I know that I'm going to have to be wearing safety glasses I'll wear contacts that day, but sometimes you don't anticipate needing to wear safety glasses, and then end up having to wear them over the normal glasses which is really very unfortunate. Because it's difficult to wear glasses and safety glasses at the same time I'm always taking them off between then they always end up full of scratches so I can't really see out of them anyways. I definitely am in need of a good pair of safety glasses at the moment I have the most basic ones available, and they get the job done but they're uncomfortable, so I'm less likely to actually wear them kinda defeating the whole point. Maybe I'll get a pair from this list so that I'll actually protect my eyes from the dangers of theater life.
