Clear lenses are ideal for work requiring protection against projectiles.

However, they do protect against all UV rays with 99.9% efficiency. The soft, molded frame provides comfort for those who need to wear eye protection all day.

The anti-fog treatment applied to both the inner and outer surfaces ensures clear vision in all circumstances. The ergonomic frame conforms to the shape of the face for a comfortable and stable fit, even during prolonged wear. These eye protection glasses are sold individually and available in boxes of 20 units for professional needs.

Installation and Adjustment of Eye Protection Glasses

Privo safety glasses are easy to install without tools. Simply position them on the nose and behind the ears, ensuring the temples are properly adjusted. Their wraparound design provides effective lateral coverage, reducing the risk of exposure to particles. For optimal comfort, it is recommended to check that the frame does not compress the temples and that the lens remains well centered in front of the eyes.

Maintenance of Anti-fog Safety Glasses

To extend the lifespan of Privo safety glasses, it is advisable to clean them regularly with a soft cloth and a solution suitable for polycarbonate lenses. Avoid abrasive products that could damage the anti-fog coating. Store the glasses in a rigid case when not in use to prevent scratches and deformation.
