Protecting Your Eyes with Prescription Safety Glasses While at Work or Having Fun

Your life is bustling from one minute to the next with numerous endeavors that keep your eyes busy.

On any given day, your eyes must help you drive your car, complete work tasks, work in the yard, exercise, use power tools, pursue your hobby, read a book, and so much more.

From one activity to the next, how do you ensure your eyes are protected and supported? Do you have multiple pairs of glasses and safety glasses that provide protection to your eyes?

Keep in mind: Your standard eyeglasses may not be the best option for every occasion.

With specialty eyewear and prescription safety glasses – eyeglasses designed for specific tasks – you can safely see clearly no matter what you’re doing.

We’re going to talk about eye safety today.

My kids used to call me Mr. Safety, and now I kind of like to think I am Dr. Safety in some ways.

Eye protection is critical. This helmet I am wearing is from when I used to play hockey with a full field facial protection. I think that is important, as you don’t want to take any chances with an eye injury (and concussions).

I want to show you the different types of sun and eyeglasses I have for eye protection.

• I have the general protection glasses for things like weed whacking, using the chainsaw, and driving the tractor.
• I have my regular eyeglasses, which are big, but they give my eyes a lot of protection.
• I have my regular sunglasses. These give me a lot of protection and they’re polarized, too, and that gives me lot of extra help – especially looking into the water, about three to four feet. I’d like to think I am a better fisherman for that.
• Finally, I have my shooter lenses for practicing marksmanship and trying to bring home a deer every once in a while.

Then I have equipment here that I use a lot – like the weed whacker, chainsaw and even a mallet or hammer. When using tools like these, it’s vital to always wear effective eye protection or prescription safety glasses.

It’s really important to have that safety.

Even seemingly ordinary events like walking through the woods demands some sort of eye protection. There are branches from trees that can hit us – and I’ve had to treat a lot of eye infections and injuries because of these reasons.

Be safe and you won’t be sorry!
