At Vision Right we understand how important your vision is to you and as such we work with several local companies to ensure their employees have the right type of Safety Glasses for them.
- Depending on the materials being used and the environment someone is in the frame material and lens material needs to be selected carefully.
- If your Employer does not supply your safety glasses for you - make sure to ask your health and safety officer which lens type you need or if they require anything particular to meet your companies safety needs before purchasing your own.
- When buying a private pair of safety glasses please know exactly what they will be used for when you come into store so we can advice you best possible on your option available to you.
