An Eye for Safety: Protective Eyewear
|
 |
These days, it seems every tool you buy carries a warning label imploring you to wear eye protection when using it. And few of us routinely follow this advice. But don't wait to have a close callor a painful and slow-to-heal eye injuryto start wearing safety glasses or goggles every time. Your second eye is not a spare part. |

» Before you choose eye protection, consider the following:
- Eyewear that meets ANSI's Z87.1-1989 specification can stop a projectile such as an errant nail, wood spun out by a table saw or a chunk of masonry debris without the lens shattering or frame breaking.
- Safety glasses that aren't identified as meeting this ANSI standard, often termed "visitor glasses," may keep dust out of your eyes. But don't rely on them to stop significant impact.
- Polycarbonate lenses, which are far more economical than glass safety lenses, scratch easily. Always wet-clean them and dry with them a soft, clean cotton cloth.
- Comfortable fit matters: look for an adjustable model.
- Your breath makes lenses fog over, particularly when you work hard. If you're also wearing a mask, it must fit well around your nose to avoid channeling your breath toward the glasses. Antifog coatings help, but they drive up the price and get scratched easily.
- Get UV protection if you'll be working outdoors.
