UV protection is essential in safety eyewear to shield your eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays, which can cause long-term eye damage, including cataracts and retinal injuries. Selecting eyewear with high UV protection is particularly important if you work outdoors or in environments with exposure to UV light sources. Most polycarbonate lenses offer inherent UV protection, and some products, such as Clear Lens Magnifying +1.5 Diopters Anti-Fog Shatterproof Safety Glasses, FastCap SG-AF-MAG1.5, Element Clear and Tinted Ice-Blue Mirror Lens Scratch-Resistant Safety Glasses, Ultra Light Sport, and Fission Mirror Lens Lightweight Scratch-Resistant Safety Glasses, Lightweight offer 99% or greater UV protection. A variety of options are available, ensuring you can find suitable eyewear for both indoor and outdoor use.
