Protective eyewear is an important part of personal protection equipment for environments where any eye injuries are a possibility. Whether working with tools that product accelerated particles, or environments where the eyes need to be protected from irritants or contaminants. These particular safety glasses are designed to protect against physical impact to the eyes, and also offer protection from bright light.

There are a number of potential eyes hazards that require eye protection, these include: Radiation (Visible light, heat or infrared radiation or lasers).
Projectiles (Dust, concrete, metal, wood and plastic).
Chemicals (Splashes and fumes)
Bloodborne pathogens from blood or body fluids

Prescription glasses are not specifically designed to protect your eyes, and so should not be relied on to offer any protection. Safety glasses are typically tough, durable, and designed to stay secure on the face more than typical spectacles.

Safety glasses are generally made from different materials or different thicknesses in order to withstand the impact of flying objects or hazardous materials. Prescription lenses in normal glasses have are designed purely to correct vision and provide little to no protection from hazardous materials.

When assessing the need for eye protection, first identify the hazards (airborne dust, projectiles, splashes etc.), then their extent (frequency/velocity of projectiles, frequency/severity of splashes).
