Top 6 Best Prescription Safety Glasses Reviewed on Style, Comfort & Function in 2019 By Phillips

MIDDLESEX, N.J., Sept. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Whether you have just started a new job or need additional protection when working on a hobby at home, you will likely want to invest in a pair of high-quality prescription safety glasses.

The main benefit is that prescription safety glasses can provide you with significant protection when you are working in challenging environments. Often, those environments are industrial environments, but they don't necessarily have to be. In these environments, you may come across things like dust, wind, sand, lasers, and other flying debris. Even worse, this flying debris often occurs when you need to be extremely vigilant toward a particular task in front of you. If you need to divert your focus because of dust or sand hitting your face, you may be endangering not only yourself, but the people around you. But by wearing prescription safety glasses, you do not need to worry about this flying debris. Instead, you can completely zone in on the task that is in front of you.

All of this is well and good. However, this naturally leads to the question of which prescription safety glasses that you should use. Luckily, we live in an era where there are a wealth of choices. The downside to all of this choice, though, is the fact that it can be hard to come to a final conclusion.

We are here to help. Below, you will find a list of some of the best prescription safety glasses on the market today. By selecting any of these prescription safety glasses, you will surely be well-protected whether you are at work or at play. In other words, these are functional, yet stylish prescription safety glasses that can give you some much-needed peace of mind when wearing them.

The Best Prescription Safety Glasses in 2019

1. Prescription Safety Glasses RX-456

We want to start by discussing the RX-456 line of prescription safety glasses. These glasses are for men and women and they are especially popular in the Rx-Safety store.

Compared to some of the other glasses on this list, the RX-456 has a free-form, wraparound style. Because of this style, the frame may feel more secure on your face as you are wearing these glasses. If you are moving around relatively quickly when wearing these glasses, you won't need to be worried about your frames falling off of your head.

The RX-456 pair of prescription safety glasses has passed some of the most stringent safety standards. It is ANSI Z87.1-2003 approved, which can give you the confidence that this pair of glasses will provide significant protection in challenging conditions.

Along with this all of these functional features, the RX-456 model feels and looks great. To start, this model contains semi-rimless frames. The lenses are mounted into the frame itself through the use of advanced lens edging technology. What this means is that your lenses are not only safely secured into the frame, but that they have an aesthetically pleasing look.

This frame also has a one-size-fits-most feature, meaning that in all likelihood, these prescription safety glasses are going to sit well on your face. For added security and comfort, you can also take advantage of rubber nose pads and rubberized arms. While this frame may not come in as many colors as other frames (you can select from black or navy blue), the two colors provided are sleek and stylish.

Ultimately, we believe that the RX-456 pair of prescription safety glasses is a great choice for both men and women who must work in challenging conditions on a regular basis. It offers the perfect mix of functionality and comfort.

2. Prescription Safety Glasses RX-15011

The RX-15011 line of prescription safety glasses offers all of the functionality of high-quality prescription safety glasses while looking extremely stylish.

Compared to the RX-456 model, the RX-15011 has a rectangular hipster-style safety frame. If you were to take away the safety features within these glasses, it would be difficult to tell the difference between this frame and another pair of fashionable glasses.

The frame itself is made out of high-quality TR-90 nylon. These frames are extremely flexible and can be bent without any significant damage. While it's hard to foresee your frames being bent in the normal course of work or play, it is nice to have this durability as a feature. Like other frames in the Rx-Safety collection, users have the option to add permanent side shields for added protection. These side shields can be especially critical if you are working in an environment with a significant amount of flying debris.

Like the RX-456 model, the RX-15011 is optimized for comfort. It has an adjustable nose piece that can help provide added comfort and a secure fit. In other words, these glasses can easily remain on your face as you are moving about your day. Even though there is only one available color for these frames, they look extremely stylish on men or women.

In sum, the RX-15011 prescription safety glasses are stylish, yet functional. They can protect your eyes while adding to your overall appearance.

3. Prescription Safety Glasses RX-Q200

The RX-Q200 model of prescription safety glasses is another great choice. Like the RX-15011 model, the RX-Q200 is made out of TR-90 nylon. Once again, TR-90 nylon adds durability and flexibility to these frames. While you don't want to deliberately drop or damage these frames, they can take a lot of heat.

Like the other frames on this list, the RX-Q200 provides significant protection to your eyes. This model is ANSI Z87 safety approved, giving you the confidence that this model will protect your eyes in even the most challenging conditions. For added protection, you can also take advantage of removable side shields.

The RX-Q200 has a wraparound style. These frames are extremely light and they won't feel heavy on your face. Rubber coated temple bars also ensure that your glasses won't fall off when you are standing or moving around. And if you want even more comfort, you can also take advantage of the saddle bridge nose pad on these frames.

This model comes in black or matte blue/pink. Ultimately, the RX-Q200 is one of the most comfortable, yet functional prescription safety glasses on this list.

4. Prescription Safety Glasses RX-X26

Next is the RX-X26 model of prescription safety glasses. The RX-X26 is one of the most lightweight and comfortable frames on this list. Putting these frames on, you will immediately notice a difference versus the standard pair of prescription safety glasses. These light and airy glasses will help you better concentrate on the task in front of you.

Beyond their lightweight nature, the RX-X26 model is made of high-quality TR-90 plastic. While you may think that plastic means low-quality, this is no cheap, ordinary plastic. This plastic is durable and will do its part to protect your eyes in challenging conditions. Combined with ANSI Z87.1-2003 approval and clear side shields, you can be sure that these prescription safety glasses will get the job done. And if you don't want the side shields? It's no problem, as you can easily remove them as necessary.

These glasses are only available in black. But having said that, these black frames are stylish and can look great on both men and women. Ultimately, you will not feel self-conscious when putting on these glasses and working in challenging conditions.

5. Prescription Safety Glasses RX-17011

Let's start with the design. The RX-17011 has a rectangular frame and comes in two colors: black orange and green. The combination of a rectangular design and bright colors makes this a fun, attractive frame. Whether you are working in the construction, woodworking, or another hands-on industry, these glasses will certainly work for you.

As for its functionality, the RX-17011 model is ANSI Z87+ approved. It is extremely durable and includes a set of removable side shields. The frames are made of plastic, but again, this is high-quality plastic. You will not need to worry about these frames breaking or not being able to withstand challenging conditions. The RX-17011 also provides an extremely secure fit, so you can be sure that your glasses won't fall off of your face when you are working.

Ultimately, we recommend the RX-17011 model for its style and comfort. A low price point (starting at $45.00) doesn't hurt either.
