nasal profile and minimize slippage. Soft elastomer brow guard diffuses
and deflects impact.

eyewear is becoming a much more specialized task, particularly as the
specifics of various jobs are analyzed across many industries and market
segments. Impact protection, while certainly a vital requirement, is
no longer the sole function of protective eyewear. Fit, comfort, style
and visual performance all contribute to a total package that addresses
workplace hazards as well as compliance issues faced by the safety professional.

Clear
UVEX Safety Lens
Uvex Safety manufactures a clear lens for indoor and outdoor work environments
where normal to low light conditions exist. This clear lens has a Visible
Light Transmittance of 92%. This means 92% of the available light will
pass through the lens. The clear lens will absorb 99.9% of UVA and UVB
radiation up to 400nm. The clear lens also provides true color recognition
and meets the traffic signal color requirements of ANSI Z80.3-1996. It
is suggested as a general purpose safety spectacle lens for most indoor
applications. For general purpose use, Uvex suggests clear lenses indoors
and sunglass tints, preferably gray or brown, for outdoors. As with all
personal protective equipment, it is the employer’s responsibility
to conduct an on-site or workplace hazard assessment.

'Espresso'
Tinted UVEX Safety Lens
While impact protection is certainly a vital requirement for any safety
eyewear, it is no longer the sole function. Many work applications include
daily exposure to ultraviolet light and visible glare. Outdoor workers,
such as gardeners and groundskeepers, masons, construction workers, lifeguards,
pilots, and roofers to name a few, are exposed daily to solar UV radiation
and intense visible sunlight. If these workers take photosensitizing
drugs, or had cataract surgery, or experience any type of retinal disorder,
their eyes may be even more susceptible to this type of harmful light.
Protective eyewear that corporates a “ general purpose“ lens
tint will effectively provide glare and UV protection while enhancing
visual comfort for these workers. Uvex manufactures an espresso lens
tint for outdoor work environments where sunlight and glare cause eyestrain
and fatigue. This sunglass tint is brown/amber in color and has a Visible
Light Transmittance of about 15%. This means 15% of the available light
will pass through the lens. The espresso lens will absorb 99.9% of UVA
and UVB radiation up to 400nm. The espresso lens tint also provides true
color recognition and meets the traffic signal color requirements of
ANSI Z80.3-1996. is suggested as a general purpose sunglass lens for
driving and most outdoor activities. The Uvex espresso lens is also “ blue
blocker“ lens. While blue light is not harmful to the eyes, it
can cause eye fatigue. Blue light makes things appear hazy and out of
focus. The Uvex espresso “blue blocker“ lens will absorb
97% of blue light, thereby enhancing contrast. This lens tint is a recommended
alternative to traditional gray lenses. As with all personal protective
equipment, it is the employer’s responsibility to conduct an on-site
or workplace hazard assessment.
• VLT = 15% • UV Absorption = >99.9% • Blue Light Transmittance= <3%• IR
Absorption* = 60% • Color = Brown/Amber
*Espresso lenses do not meet the Shade requirements of Table I of ANSI
Z87.1, and should not be used for any type of welding application.

SCT
50% Mirror AF UVEX Safety Lens
When workers move from indoor work environments to sunny outdoor applications
(fork lift drivers, truck drivers, loaders, packers etc.). custom lens
tints may be used to reduce glare. If these workers take photosensitizing
drugs, have had cataract surgery, or experience any type of retinal disorder,
their eyes may be more susceptible to this type of harmful light. Protective
eyewear that incorporates a task specific lens tint will effectively
provide glare and UV protection while enhancing visual comfort for these
workers. Uvex Safety manufacturers a SCT Reflect-50 lens tint for workers
who work in both indoor and outdoor work applications to reduce glare
which can cause eyestrain and fatigue. This tint is clear in color with
a flash mirror coating and has a Visible Light Transmittance of about
50%. This means 50% of the available light will pass through the lens.
The SCT Reflect-50 lens will absorb 99.9% of UVA and UVB radiation up
to 385nm. The SCT Reflect-50 lens tint also provides true color recognition
and meets the traffic signal color requirements of ANSI Z80.3-1996. It
is suggested as a general purpose sunglass lens for driving. It is designed
specifically to suppress glare in bright indoor applications or to allow
easy transition from inside to outside, cutting glare in less than full
sun conditions. As with all personal protective equipment, it is the
employer’s responsibility to conduct an on-site or workplace hazard
assessment.
• VLT = 50% • UV Absorption = >99.9% • Color = Clear with
Mirror Coating
* SCT Reflect-50 does not meet the Shade requirements of Table I of ANSI
Z87.1, and should not be used for any type of welding application.
