FAQs on Bifocal Safety Glasses at Eyewear UK
What Are Bifocal Safety Glasses?
Bifocal safety glasses are used when a person requires reading glasses but also the protection of having safety glasses that adequately protect the eye.
If you have a job where you are required to carry out work which needs the use of
safety glasses, but you also have to read while doing it, then our bifocal safety glasses are for you.
Bifocal safety glasses are affordable and are ANSI and EN166F approved which means they are impact-resistant and won't shatter like your reading glasses when dropped. This added protection means that you don't have to switch glasses to continue your work.
Safety should always be at the top of any agenda when at work and dealing with machinery or conditions which require you to wear protective eyewear. It can only take a moment for an accident to happen which results in permanent eye damage for the user and if you are wearing reading glasses rather than bifocal safety glasses this can cause more harm than if you were wearing no glasses at all.
Your standard reading glasses are not made to withstand impact and can shatter easily, so should you be unlucky enough to get hit with something, parts of the glass or the frame could end up in your eye. For this reason, we have created a range of safety glasses which also provide reading assistance to the user whilst providing you with the protection that is essential to do your job.
How Do I Choose What ADD of Bifocal Safety Glasses I Need?
It's important to get a great pair of safety glasses. The better they allow you to see, the more comfortable and confident you can feel wearing them. So when you need to wear a pair of safety glasses with a bifocal feature, the question is: how do I choose what add of bifocal safety glasses I need?
ADD is the amount of power that gets added to your distance prescription. By adding power, you are able to create the reading or bifocal portion of the glasses. You can almost think of this as the magnification intensity that needs to be added. Finding the correct ADD will allow you to see more clearly.
What Do The Numbers on My Prescription Mean?
OD – RIGTH EYE information
OS – LEFT EYE information
OU – BOTH EYE information
SPH – SPHERE
This indicates the strength of lens required to correct your focus.
NEARSIGTHED – there is a (-) minus sign next to your number -i.e. myopia (difficulty focusing on distant objects).
FARSIGHTED – there is a (+) plus sign next to your number -i.e. hyperopic (difficulty focusing on close objects).
CYL-CYLINDER
Identify how much lens power in your prescription, as well as for astigmatism (difficulty focusing at certain angles). It always comes after sphere power in a prescription.
NEARSIGHTED ASTIGMATISM – There is a (-) minus sign next to the number.
FARSIGHTED ASTIGMATISM – There is a (+) plus sign next to your number.
IF YOU HAVE A CYLINDER, YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE AN AXIS.
AXIS
The AXIS specifies where the astigmatism is on your eyes. IT IS ONLY PRESENT IF THERE IS VALUE IN YOUR CYL BOX – IF YOU HAVE A CYL, YOU HAVE AN AXIS.
The measurement is in DEGREES and the value range is between 0 and 180.
ADD _ ADDITIONAL CORRECTION REQUIRED FOR READING
Used to make reading, bifocal or varifocal glasses. Indicates how much power is required ‘on top' of the prescription for near or intermediate glasses.
PRISM – REQUIRED TO CORRECT LAZY EYE
This is included with a prescription to correct special conditions or eye disorders (like squints) that requires the focused image to move positions.
What Is Segment Height?
Segment Height (SH) is the vertical distance between the bottom of the lens in your frame and the bifocal line on progressive lenses. The Segment Height is essential because it will determine the proportions of your lens.
How Do I Know I Need Bifocal Safety Glasses?
A question we occasionally field here at Eyewear UK involves bifocal lenses in safety glasses. Individuals are often curious if they'll see a substantial difference between regular safety lenses and bifocal lenses. So where is the dividing line – if you'll pardon the pun – between the use of standard safety glasses and the need for magnified lower lenses?
Do You Need Bifocal Safety Glasses?
To find the answer, ask yourself two questions: How poor is my in-close vision, and how often do I perform in-close tasks that require safety glasses? Consider and answer them honestly, and you'll find out which kind of safety eyewear is ideal for you.
You might have only a mild case of presbyopia (the condition in which ageing eyes fail to focus well on nearby objects). If you can read, write, and see well enough to perform tasks within a distance of 12-15 inches from your eyes, functioning with standard safety glasses might work for you. Especially if your duties require little in-close work to strain your eyes. On the other hand, if your presbyopia is moderate to severe, or you often need to read, fill out paperwork, or perform other in-close tasks, you'll benefit greatly from bifocal safety glasses.
Do you sell bifocal and varifocal lenses?
Yes. As specialists in the supply of prescription safety glasses, we offer you the option to purchase single vision, bifocal or varifocal lenses with all our frames. We recommend varifocals only to those people who already wear this type of lens in their everyday spectacles.
For varifocals we do require a photograph of the recipient wearing the frame that has been chosen. Once a varifocal order has been received we automatically send you the frame so you can provide us with this image.
