Eye protection

Means of eye protection - glasses, shields

Eyes are a super-sensitive organ that is easily injured and very difficult to restore, even despite the achievements of modern medicine. Therefore, scientists at the end of the 19th century were concerned with the invention of a means of individual protection of the organs of vision. First of all, such protection is necessary for working in an aggressive environment, in production, where there is a risk of injury from metal shavings, acid or blinding rays.

Long time eye protection were not popular, as they greatly narrowed the viewing angle and made work difficult. For these reasons, workers could ignore the rules and forget to wear bulky, uncomfortable glasses, which resulted in injuries and loss of vision. Modern glasses for eye protection are devoid of these disadvantages - they are ideal for long-term wear, do not cause discomfort, are equipped with ventilation and can even correct vision.

Individual eye protection - what is it and who uses it

Glasses, as means of eye protection in production, are an optical device that completely covers the organs of vision and protects against various types of threats:

From any mechanical impact.
From burns.
It is radiated (laser, ultraviolet).
Chemical substances.
Dust, smoke, gas.
Small flying particles.
Thermal effects.

Means of individual eye protection are used even in sports - they protect against puck or ball hits.

Means of protection of the organs of vision workers of various professions are required - laboratory assistants, carpenters, brawlers, miners, explosives - in short, to those people whose activities are connected with cutting, crushing, electricity, painting, high temperatures, bright light, spraying aggressive liquids or gas. Protective glasses are used by surgeons, gardeners, builders and even cooks.

How to choose and buy technical means of eye protection

To choose the right glasses to protect your vision, it is first necessary to determine what hazards to the eyes the worker may face. The type of glasses depends on it. In the PromSIZ online store, you can buy the following eye protection products:

Open type safety glasses. They provide protection for the eyes only in front and on the side, without covering the eyes from above and below. Such glasses will not fog up, do not narrow the field of vision. Glasses of open type glasses can be replaced by glasses with diopters if the employee needs vision correction.
Closed safety glasses they give more reliable protection, but the viewing angle in them is already. If there is no ventilation, the windows may fog up, but special liquids for windows help to solve this problem.
Glasses of a gas welder with darkening filters and special spraying against fogging. They protect both the lateral and suprabrow area of the eyes from bright light, high temperatures, liquids, and sparks.

In glasses of all types, special filters can be used, which are given eye protection from radiation, prevent blindness and burns. They pass only the part of the spectrum that is visible to the eye, but block ultraviolet and infrared rays. You can buy glasses with built-in light filters if you only need them for one type of work. Another option is glasses with viewing frames, where you can insert various filters.

Different filters are needed for different types of work – for example, darkening filters are used to protect against blinding light, and a special coating is needed to protect against caustic acids.

Sometimes it is not enough to just wear glasses - some jobs require protective shields or masks. Therefore, before making a choice, it is worth contacting specialists.
