Making safety glasses

Safety glasses can prevent foreign flying objects or debris from damaging your vision during construction, for example, but they can also protect your eyes during welding, maintenance and other dangerous work. In addition, safety goggles can also be perfect for protecting against chemicals. If a worker suffers an eye injury, it may be due to the use of inadequate protective equipment. Unfortunately, many people do not even think about the importance of eye protection in the workplace.

Our range of protective eyewear

We offer a range of dioptric safety spectacles from Carl Zeiss, Infield, UVEX and Univet. These top quality products all have a Hungarian EC Type Certificate issued by the European Union Notified Certification Body. Depending on the type of lens, the products fully comply with the relevant S or F OH&S standards.

High quality dioptric safety spectacles

Don’t rely on your own prescription glasses to protect your eyes from injury. Wearing flawlessly made dioptric safety glasses will help prevent all potential hazards. Special glasses are needed to protect your eyes from many types of workplace hazards. The right goggles will also provide complete protection against damage caused by mechanical, optical, dust, gas, vapour and chemical hazards.

Of course, workers not only need to protect their eyes, they also need to have perfect vision to do their job properly. However, traditional dioptric glasses cannot be used comfortably with general safety glasses – we provide a solution to this problem with our high quality corrective and dioptric safety glasses.

Good safety eyewear is not only comfortable to wear, but also provides the perfect protection for your eyes. First and foremost, it is important to thoroughly investigate the working conditions and identify the source of the hazard. To find the right goggles, you need to take into account the conditions at the workplace: lighting conditions, local conditions (indoor or outdoor) and temperature. Of course, when selecting and manufacturing the equipment, it is also essential to pay attention to the legal requirements!

Occupational safety spectacle lenses - provide protection and improve vision

The types and designs of lenses we can recommend depend primarily on the nature of the eye’s visual problem. We can make single-focus, bifocal or even multifocal lenses, with different coatings and tints, in plastic or tempered glass materials. Dioptric goggles must not only be effective in enhancing the visual experience, they must also comply with standards and regulations, which is why we manufacture these products with the utmost care and expertise. We offer affordable and flexible solutions, which we can provide on-site, tailored to your individual needs.

Provides mechanical protection

Quality safety spectacles provide mechanical protection. Only properly labelled goggles should be used as safety goggles. Mechanical strength is graded on both the lens and the frame.

Protection against chemicals

Hazardous substances can cause inflammation, a condition in which the eye swells and reddens, and blurred vision. It’s important to keep your eyes safe with safety goggles, as they reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.

Filters out harmful light

Safety goggles can protect your eyes from the harmful effects of high brightness. These distracting and harmful lights can surround us in many forms during our work and daily tasks. But using the right safety glasses can help protect your vision from these bright light sources.

Suitable to your taste and customisable

Safety glasses can also be fashionable, reflecting the wearer’s personality. Many people don’t wear this version of safety eyewear because they feel they have limited style options. Nowadays, there is a wide range of brands and customised frames to choose from.

How do I order diopters?

Booking and advice:

When it comes to dioptric safety eyewear, it is very important that it is designed to maximise the suitability for the specific workplace conditions and provide full protection against potential risks. For example, it is not always the case whether you are going to wear safety glasses in a medical or dental practice, or whether you are a construction company that needs glasses for its employees. That is why it is important to have advice, even on site, from an expert who can personally assess the conditions and criteria for the safety spectacles. Whether the workplace is indoors or outdoors, the lighting conditions, the temperature and the hazards to the eyes are all important factors.

Company vision screening:

To get the perfect goggles in every respect, it’s not just the working conditions mentioned above that matter. You also need to be aware of your employees’ eyesight. This part is made easier by the possibility of an eye screening bus, which offers the opportunity to get all the details right on site, even in a single visit. A collection that meets your pre-assessed needs can be delivered on site, making your job easier. After the vision screening, the dioptric safety eyewear can be customised immediately: you can choose the frame, the lens and the protection you need.

Production and delivery of customised goggles:

Continuous optimisation of technology enables the products manufactured to meet or exceed the most stringent standards and requirements. In order to achieve perfect results, traditional methods have been replaced by digital production, which is only possible with the help of the latest computers and complex computer programs. The use of a combination of different computational programs allows for a comfortable and easy to customise end result with maximum visual pleasure. Custom-made and individually designed spectacles meet all criteria in every respect. This is, of course, proven by a testing procedure that all goggles undergo after manufacture. Only then can they be put into use. This is done by engraving both the lens and the frame. Delivery therefore only takes place once the goggles have received this certification.

What makes a good quality pair of goggles?

Each pair of safety glasses is designed to protect the wearer’s eyes from any hazards that may occur in the workplace. That’s why each product has to undergo a very rigorous testing process to ensure that it works as intended. Only properly labelled goggles can be used as safety goggles, as only then can we be sure that they offer complete protection against potential effects. Simple or dioptric safety spectacles that meet the S or F safety standards also provide mechanical protection. This means that they can protect the eyes from a steel ball with a diameter of 6 mm impacting at 12 m/s (S) or 45 m/s (F).

Certificates for safety spectacles

Mechanical strength

The mechanical strength test determines whether a pair of safety goggles is classified as “S, F or B“. During the test, the goggles are subjected to impacts at different speeds.

Corrosion resistance

To ensure that the safety spectacle frame can withstand extreme environmental conditions, it is important to test its corrosion resistance.

Protection against dust and particles

An essential feature of safety eyewear is protection against damage caused by small particles.

UV protection

Stray light is an optical effect that reduces contrast and blurs our vision. Various tests and measurements are carried out to ensure that UV protection is required.

Field of vision, side protection, coverage area

Optimal safety spectacles should not hinder perfect vision, and therefore of course not hinder your work. It must have a suitable field of vision, which is tested by means of a simulation test.

Increased temperature, resistance to ageing

An important test of protection against extreme temperature exposure – marked T – is to subject the goggles to a temperature of 55°C for a full hour.

Optical lens classification

Depending on the degree of optical distortion, the lens of a goggle may be suitable for occasional (class 3), occasional (class 2) or permanent (class 1) wear.

Material and surface quality

During testing, defects that would degrade the optical quality are detected and eliminated. These may include scratches, inclusions, bubbles or clouding.

Lens coatings for safety spectacles

Safety spectacles can be fitted with a variety of protective coatings if required. The most common of these are anti-scratch coatings, which primarily increase the life of the goggles, and anti-fog coatings, which help to maintain a high level of visual comfort by preventing condensation on the goggle surface.

Tinted goggle lenses

As with computer safety goggles for working in front of a monitor, we use a variety of tinted safety goggle lenses for other types of safety eyewear. The lenses can be permanently, i.e. coloured from the outset, and within this you can choose between different degrees of tinting depending on how dark you want the lens to be.

When are tinted goggles recommended?

For traditional use, a simple colourless field of vision colour is used, while if the worker needs to see perfectly in twilight conditions without bright lights, a yellow lens is used. Slightly tinted lenses are optimal when the worker is working both indoors and outdoors, i.e. when the lighting conditions change frequently. A lightly tinted lens helps the eye to adapt and provides good visual conditions even in such situations. To protect the eyes from bright light, a mirror lens, usually in yellow or blue, is used, which gives the wearer excellent vision but reflects strong, distracting light. Tinted lenses, available in a range of shades, are used in bright, constant light, effectively as sunglasses. In addition, in special cases, green or brown darker lenses can be used to protect the wearer in applications requiring increased light protection, such as welding.
