Protection – <\/strong>the number one reason for wearing safety glasses, you want to be sure they provide suitable safety protection for your eyes. This means full coverage of your eyes by the lense with minimal space between them and your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfort – <\/strong>given that you will be on these for what is atleast eight hours a day, five days a week comfort is critical when selecting a pair of safety glasses.
