Frequently Asked Questions

ANSI Z87.1+ high-velocity prescription safety glasses are specifically designed to protect the wearer’s eyes from high-velocity impact hazards. The standard includes flying fragments, objects, particles, and more encountered in hazardous environments such as construction sites, woodworking shops, or industrial settings.

The ANSI Z87.1 standard classifies safety glasses into two main categories: standard impact and high impact, indicated by the “+” symbol. The “high velocity” term refers to the high-impact classification, which goes through stringent testing below:

  1. High Mass Impact Test: This involves dropping a 500g pointed weight from a height of 127 cm onto the glasses.
  2. High-Velocity Impact Test: This test shoots a 6.35 mm diameter steel ball at 150 feet/second (approximately 102 mph) at the glasses.
  3. Durability Test: This test subjects the glasses to exposure to non-ionizing radiation and chemicals.

Safety glasses that pass these tests can bear the “Z87+” marking, which means they offer a higher level of protection than regular safety glasses and are suitable for environments with a risk of high-speed particles striking the wearer’s eyes.

For prescription safety glasses to be marked with the ANSI Z87.1+ high velocity, they must meet these criteria.

At Rx-Safety we are dedicated to providing the best prescription safety glasses online at affordable prices. In addition, we are an American manufacturer, with frames starting as low as $15.00.  The cost of prescription safety glasses varies according to a lot of factors.

To get a price estimate for your prescription safety glasses, you need to consider the frame style, the lens material, and any coatings or special accessories that you may need.

On our website, you can add all the options to the shopping cart and your subtotal will be available right away. Also, at Rx Safety, we have a dedicated team of customer service, that will be happy to help you to determine the potential cost of your prescription safety glasses.

In addition to this, you can take any safety glasses or prescription safety eyewear from our website and add a UV protective tint to them during customization. The process of adding a tint to our safety glasses is simple and easily done during the customizing and checkout process.

ANSI stands for American National Standards Institute, an independent testing organization that issues ratings that are approved by OSHA.

RX-Safety prescription safety glasses are indeed scratch resistant! We pride ourselves on always using high quality metals and materials such as TR-90 Nylon and Polycarbonate. These tough, high-quality materials are lightweight, yet extremely durable. They are built to last in tough, hazardous conditions and are exceedingly scratch resistant safety glasses and lenses. There is also an additional scratch coating for lenses available in the lens coatings section during selection of your frames.

Absolutely, your ANSI Z87 safety glasses can have prescription lenses. At Rx-Safety we are dedicated to providing the best prescription glasses that fit your needs.

We offer a wide range of prescription safety glasses ANSI Z87 approved. So you don’t need to choose between style and safety anymore!

To discover if your glasses are safety rated just look inside your frame and lenses. Safety rated frames and lenses are required to have the ANSI stamp on them.

Normally, you can find the ANSI stamp inside your frame temples and outside your field of view on your lenses.

The main difference between ANSI Z87.1 and ANSI Z87+ is that ANSI Z87+ incorporates additional requirements and enhancements beyond the previous version, ANSI Z87.1.

ANSI Z87.1 is the earlier version of the ANSI standard for occupational and educational eye and face protection. It outlines the essential safety glasses, goggles, face shields, and other protective eyewear requirements. ANSI Z87.1 includes specifications for impact resistance, optical clarity, coverage, fit, and frame and lens durability requirements.

The ANSI Z87+ standard is an updated version that includes all the requirements of ANSI Z87.1 while adding additional provisions to enhance safety and performance. ANSI Z87+ introduces different criteria and testing protocols to address emerging hazards and incorporate advancements in protective eyewear technology. The “+” designation signifies that the standard includes the latest revisions and updates beyond the previous version.

The enhancements in ANSI Z87+ include:

  • Higher Standard of impact resistance testing.
  • Improved optical quality requirements.
  • Expanded coverage.
  • Fit criteria.
  • Additional frame and lens durability provisions.

ANSI Z87+ aims to provide higher protection and performance for workers in various industries by considering new materials, technologies, and potential hazards.

Prescription Safety Glasses generally take between 7-10 business days to be completed and shipped.

Just remember, our production time varies according to the frame and lens type you chose.

Yes, prescription safety glasses must be Z87 stamped. The kind of stamp may vary according to what your frame was rated for.

General Safety Glasses have the ANSI Z87.1 stamp, and High Impact rated safety glasses have the ANSI Z87+ stamp.

If the frame is not ANSI certified, it will only contain the manufacturer’s mark. In addition, detachable side shields will be marked separately from your main lenses.

No, prescription safety glasses do not expire! As long as you feel comfortable with your vision, you can use your prescription safety glasses. But, like regular frames, constant and heavy use of your prescription safety glasses may cause frames to break or need repair over time. Also, it is important to pay attention to your eyes, which over time they can change and your prescription may increase.

At Rx-Safety, we offer a Safety lens replacement service, in which we are able to provide a brand new pair of lenses without you buying a new frame.

At Rx-Safety prescription safety glasses, lenses can be made of a variety of materials, including polycarbonate, trivex, high index 1.67 and 1.74, and standard real glass.

In addition to the lens material, we offer a variety of lens coatings and tints that will be effective for single vision and multifocal lenses on your safety glasses.

All our lens materials are ANSI Z87.1 approved, plus the polycarbonate lens and trivex lens are ANSI Z87+ approved.

If you need more information about a specific material or its properties, our customer service will be happy to assist you.

Side shields on prescription safety glasses are a great, useful tool for providing full 360-degree protection in a variety of segments. They widen the field of protection around your eyes and protect against airborne threats in environments such as the lab, workshop, or hospital. What we love about removable side shields is that they can be stowed away when they are not needed, turning your glasses into regular glasses. However, many of the safety glasses we carry have built-in side shields so you do not have to worry about losing the shields. Both options give you the ability to determine the level of protection that you require in the field. Additionally, RX safety goggles and wrap around safety glasses with prescription also provide additional protection the way side shields do.

Yes, Rx-Safety makes prescription safety glasses that will not fog by offering the option to add a permanent anti-fog coating during the lens selection process. The Permanent Anti Fog coating can be applied to any prescription safety lens to address the common issue of lens fogging.

Rx-Safety’s anti-fog coating tackles this issue head-on. It works by altering the way water interacts with the lens surface. Instead of forming tiny droplets, the coating reduces the surface tension of the water, causing it to spread out evenly in a thin, invisible layer. This prevents the water from clustering into droplets that can obscure vision.

Fog Free Coating benefits people working in environments with fluctuating temperatures or high humidity and those engaged in physical activities that cause perspiration. It ensures that the wearer maintains a clear field of vision, which is crucial for safety and performance.
Furthermore, the anti-fog coating is permanent, so it remains effective for the life of the lenses. This eliminates the need for repeated applications or additional anti-fog products, making it both convenient and cost-effective in the long run.

To learn more about anti-fog prescription safety glasses go here.

Yes. It’s in the name already, but RX-Safety focuses on both safety glasses and prescription safety glasses. With an in-house lab and optician, not only are we able to offer prescription safety glasses, but we have all the available latest ranges of lens sizes, lens coatings, materials, and coloring available. 

So as long as you know your prescription figures, you’re able to build out, step by step, all the different components of the prescription lenses online. Yes, this even includes polarized lenses. So you can get the lenses you need and even the lenses that you want.

Plain and simple, the average cost of prescription safety glasses with us is $85.00. This can vary widely and is based on not just the frame choice but also your prescription and lens selection. 

For example, a higher index prescription may be better suited to different types of lens material. You may also want to add additional coatings such as anti-fog or anti-scratch. Coatings and colors will increase the price.

These plans provide convenient and cost-effective solutions for companies to ensure the eye safety of their employees.

Safety eyewear or safety glasses must meet the ANSI Z87.1 safety standards.

Plus, the ANSI Z87+ safety standards meet the OSHA 29 CRF1910.133(b)(2) eye protection for the general industry.

The EN166 is the European safety standard for eye protection.

At RX Safety, all safety glasses we carry meet the ANSI Z87+, OSHA, and EN 166 safety standards.

All the mentioned models (RX-F126, RX-Q100, RX-Q200, RX-Q300, and RX-RK2) are prescription safety glasses with an elastic strap for a secure fit. Additionally, what sets these models apart is that they all feature removable temple bars.
