The Technology of Rx Safety US Glasses

The eyewear company Rx Safety US makes technologically advanced safety glasses and sunglasses. Every pair of Rx Safety US Glasses meets high mass impact and high-velocity impact eye safety standards published by the American National Standards Institute. Some styles also meet United States federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations for personal protective equipment in working environments or ballistic safety standards set by the military. Find out about how Rx Safety US optical technology optimizes all of the eyewear frame designs and lens treatments.

Total Eye Protection

Rx Safety US technology provides more complete eye protection than safety eyewear and sunglasses at discount prices. Every pair of Rx Safety US frames and lenses is ANSI-rated, which can make it easier to decide on your favorite style of protective glasses or goggles. Several styles of spectacles and goggles by Rx Safety US meet the environmental, optical, and V0 Ballistic Impact requirements of the U.S. Military standard MIL-PRF-32432 A and are included on the Program Executive Office Soldier Authorized Protective Eyewear List.

ANSI High-Velocity Impact and VO Ballistic Protection

All Rx Safety US frames and lenses meet ANSI high-velocity impact standards. Spectacles must withstand the impact of a steel ball that has a diameter of a one-quarter inch and is traveling at 150 feet per second, while goggles are tested with the same size of a projectile moving at 250 fps. The tests for V0 Ballistic Protection involve .15 caliber projectiles traveling between 640 fps and 725 fps for glasses and .22 caliber projectiles traveling up to 590 fps for goggles.

ANSI High Mass Impact Protection

Rx Safety US frames and lenses are also rated for high mass impact. This test involves dropping a 1.1 pound steel spike from a height of 50 inches on eyewear placed on an artificial head form. Glasses and goggles that meet this standard can protect wearers from unexpected blunt force impact from falling objects. You can order ANSI-rated prescription lenses for Rx Safety US frames to correct your vision and protect your eyes.

ASTM F803 Standards

Some Rx Safety US eyewear meets the ASTM F803 Standard Specification for Eye Protectors for Selected Sports. The youth Force Sport series includes styles that meet this standard, such as the Rx Safety US Crush, Fierce, Flash, Gamer, and Victory. The test for the ASTM F803 standard requires that frames and lenses withstand the impact of projectiles that measure between 1.5 inches and 2.5 inches traveling at speeds more than 135 fps.

ANSI Clarity Standards

Lenses for Rx Safety US frames are ANSI-rated for clarity in addition to eye protection. Whether you select safety glasses with clear lenses or sunglasses lenses, you can expect clear and crisp visuals in Rx Safety US eyewear. You may prefer one type of polarization over the other for Rx Safety US Sunglasses. Its polarized lenses enhance color contrast and detail and meet ANSI Z87.1 and EN. 166 safety standards. Rx Safety US Filter 8™ polarized lenses are also ANSI-rated.

Impact Resistant

Every pair of Rx Safety US eyewear satisfies ANSI standards for impact resistance at a minimum. Some styles meet other international standards or U.S. occupational or ballistic eye protection requirements. You can find safety glasses by Rx Safety US that satisfy the U.S. federal OSHA 1910.133(b)(1)(1) safety requirements. Eyewear that meets military ballistic safety standards can provide the highest level of impact resistance. Check the safety ratings of any style of Rx Safety US goggles or glasses.

Polarized Lenses

The polarized Captivate™ lenses by Rx Safety US feature patented optical technology. These lenses have an oleophobic coating that reduces the adherence of dirt, dust, oil, and water to lenses and allows for easy cleaning. These lenses have a Bayer 7 rating for abrasion or scratch resistance and are ANSI Z87.1-rated for eye protection and clarity. Choose from a variety of tint colors and finishes such as Blue Mirror, Bronze Mirror, Green Mirror, Polarized Gray, and Polarized Platinum Flash.

Light Adjusting Lenses

Rx Safety US also offers lenses that change color based on the presence of UV rays. Photochromic lenses are ideal for safety glasses that are worn indoors and outdoors. The rate of reactivity varies based on the temperature. Photochromic prescription lenses for Rx Safety US frames make it possible to wear a single pair of eyewear as safety glasses and sunglasses. Lenses that lighten and darken in tint may eliminate the need for more than one pair of prescription eyewear.
