GLASSWORKING LENSES

When working with glass, prioritizing safety is paramount. Glassworking, a captivating craft with diverse techniques, brings unique hazards. Safeguarding your vision necessitates selecting the right eyewear. This buyer’s guide walks you through crucial considerations for choosing optimal glassworking eye protection.

Understanding Glassworking Hazards

Engaging in glassworking exposes you to various hazards jeopardizing your eyes and vision:

Exposure to UV radiation

Techniques like torchwork emit harmful UV radiation, necessitating protection against long-term eye damage.

HEAT

Intense heat from glassblowing or kiln work requires eye protection resistant to high temperatures.

Chemical Splashes

Working with glass involves chemicals, posing a risk of accidental splashes and potential eye injuries.

Flying Glass Particles

During cutting, grinding, or shaping processes, airborne glass fragments may be propelled, presenting a potential hazard for eye injuries.

glassworking Lens Filters

Choosing the appropriate lens filter is essential when selecting eyeglasses for glassworking. Various types of glass and specific applications demand specific lens filters to enhance both protection and visibility. VS Eyewear offers a range of glassworking lenses, including:

Lens Materials

The choice of lens materials significantly impacts durability and effectiveness. Common materials include:

Polycarbonate: Known for impact resistance, providing protection against flying glass particles and UV radiation.

Glass: Highly resistant to scratches, offering clear vision and protection against UV radiation and heat. Among our choices, the Phillips 202 filter comes with glass lenses.

Frame Styles & Comfort

Comfort is crucial during extended wear.

VS Eyewear offers various frame styles, including safety glasses, safety glasses with side shields, fitovers, clip-on’s, safety goggles and a broad selection of Designer eyewear. Choose a style that fits securely, provides necessary coverage, and ensures lasting comfort.

Safety glasses offer versatility and are well-suited for a wide range of general glassworking applications, offering essential protection against UV radiation, heat, and airborne glass particles. Models with wraparound frames or side shields provide extensive eye coverage, proving especially beneficial when additional protection on the sides is necessary.

Fitovers are specifically crafted to be worn over prescription eyewear, making them an ideal selection for individuals requiring vision correction. When working with chemicals or situations demanding a complete seal around the eyes, safety goggles stand out as the preferred option, ensuring thorough and comprehensive protection.

Our Sodium Flare Polycarbonate, BoroTruView shade #3, and Phillips 202 lampworking lenses are available in either Single Vision or Progressive prescription corrections. If you have a frame that you like and are comfortable with, you can send us your frame, and we can insert either non-prescription or prescription lenses into your existing frame.
