OnGuard safety glasses are designed to provide superior eye protection for industrial applications and sports. This eyewear brand makes styles with plastic or metal frames and shatterproof lenses that meet ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact resistance. Shop a selection of prescription-ready safety glasses.

Safety-Rated Eyewear

Most OnGuard frames made of either metal or plastic are designed to stand up to the Z87.1 basic impact standard. This standard is determined by a ball drop impact test in which a metal ball one inch in diameter and weighing about 2.4 ounces is dropped on eyewear from a height of 50 inches. To meet this requirement, the frames must not break and lenses cannot shatter. Glasses that meet the Z87.1 standard provide a sufficient level of protection for many environments in which a wearer’s eyes may be exposed to impact risks.

If you are required to wear safety glasses on the job, check whether the frames you are considering meet the applicable standards. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard 29 CFR 1910.133(b)(2) for protective eyewear references the Z87.1 standard. OnGuard eyewear with a Z87 rating should be suitable for most work environments.

Protective Prescription Lenses

The ability to see clearly is an important factor for safety on the job or in the field. OnGuard prescription glasses can satisfy most vision correction needs. Corrective lenses in safety glasses should provide the same level of protection as non-prescription shatterproof lenses. Safety eyewear should also prioritize optical clarity.

The base curve of safety glasses frames may determine the range of compatible lens strength. If you require thicker, high-power lenses, check to see whether the style you are considering is high RX compatible. A range of diopters may also be specified for certain frames. Choose from single vision, multifocal or reading lenses and enter your prescription. Prescription safety lenses can also provide UV protection and may be available in a choice of tints or finishes.
