Eye injuries account
for nearly two and one half million accidents in the United States
each year. What's more, even as the rate of eye injuries in the
workplace drops, the number of such injuries occurring at home
is on the rise. In fact, a surprising forty-one percent of all
eye injuries take place at home.
What
may be more alarming is the way these injuries occur. Trimming
the bushes, operating power tools, and cleaning with household
chemicals all pose critical eye dangers.
Fortunately, about ninety percent
of all eye injuries can be prevented with the use of proper protective
eyewear. Safety eyewear is as attractive and comfortable as regular
dress eyewear. Frames are available in both plastic and metal
materials, and contain the same flex hinges and soft nose pads
that have made everyday frames more popular.
Styles and colors are also available
in a wide range of sizes to satisfy the fitting needs of men,
women and teens. And safety frames offer the added protection
of sideshields that can be slipped on or permanently attached.
Safespecs
are made for people with prescription needs and also available
with non prescription polycarbonate lenses for contact lens wearers
and those active people who do not need prescription glasses but
do need to protect their sight. Safety lenses are available clear
and tinted for sunglass use.
