Prescription Safety Glasses online?

Sep 09, 2004 8 Replies

Hey can anyone recommend an online vendor for prescription safety glasses. You know those really geeky ones with the integral side shields, maybe mesh maybe ridgid plastic? Not looking to go cheap where the eyeballs are concerned but not looking to overpay either.



Thanks!



Jay

I wear contacts and use reading glasses. I'd like sone safety glasses that have a 2X magnifier like a bifocal lense. Surely they are made, I just can't find them. Texas Parts Guy

I think I saw some stick-on lower half magnifiers at the drug store. They were made in different powers, but I don't know if they went all the way to

2X. If that fails, any good optometrist could prescribe what you need.

MSC carries them -- look on pg. 2727 of the big book. They have several different styles. I have the Crews "Engineer" model, but they're a little cheap and don't stay on very well. I might try the Smith & Wesson style, since I don't really care about the bifocal feature.

If you just need readers, get em from eBay, less than $10.

I couldn't find safety glasses there. Bob

You might not save much going the online route. Quite often opticians will sell safety glasses at a smaller mark-up than "fashion" frames. As an example Wal-Mart charged me less for a pair of titanium frames with safety lenses than they did to put a set of lenses in my frames.
