Safety
eyewear #1
Hello
everyone! Welcome to the first installment of the introduction to safety
glasses. I know some of you might find it redundant to wear safety glasses and
like duh, some of these glasses are just so uncomfortable
However,
did you know most eye injuries and blindness are a result of deprived
protection to the eye? I cannot emphasize how important it is to wear safety
glasses. YOU ONLY HAVE ONE PAIR OF EYES!!
Safety
glasses are usually made with shatter-resistant plastic lenses to protect the
eye from flying debris. The safety lenses may be constructed from a variety of
materials of various impact resistance, and usually maintain a minimum 1
millimeter thickness at the thinnest point, regardless of material. The level
of protection they provide may vary.
Wearing
glasses? Fret not.
Some
safety glasses are designed to fit over normal glasses or sunglasses. They may
provide less eye protection than goggles or other forms of eye protection, but
their lightweight increases the likelihood that they will actually be used.
Modern safety glasses tend to be given a more stylish design in order to
encourage their use.
This chic and sunglass design (KY733) is really
cool, I thought. It’s super lightweight and has adjustable nose pads. It can
even block out 99.9% of UV radiation, adding even more protection for your
eyes. You can wear it as a pair of normal sunglasses as well!
Now this (KY8813A) is my personal favourite. It’s rimless
and sporty with soft and comfortable temple pads to provide maximum comfort. It
only weighs 24g, as though you aren’t wearing anything at all!
Whatever it is, please, please, please, put on safety
glasses whenever necessary. It’s really affordable and you could easily get
them at http://www.estore.com.sg/safety-eyewear-c-173.html
Stay tuned for the upcoming post as we discuss some common
eye injuries and their remedies.
