Correction safety glasses

Prescription safety glasses can be individually adapted to the wearer’s vision and thus offer the best possible protection in the workplace. The investment has long-term benefits: you can wear the prescription safety glasses all the time, which increases occupational safety. In addition, the quality of your work is likely to be better than when wearing prescription glasses and over-specs, as these could fog up or cause additional hazards due to possible reflections.

// Norms and standards
