Looking after it
Rinse them, then wash in warm water with mild soap and dry on a soft cloth. Wiping dust off dry is what puts the first scratches in a lens.
About this product
Safety glasses made to go over the prescription glasses you already wear.
Scratch-resistant coating front and back, ventilated temples to cut fogging, side covers for peripheral protection and 100 per cent UV protection. The listing states two pairs per pack.
Safety glasses designed to be worn over prescription eyewear, so you do not have to choose between seeing and being protected.
The lenses are treated front and back with a clear scratch-resistant coating, which makes the surface harder and the glasses last longer.
Ventilation holes in the temples let air move, which is what stops the lenses fogging up.
Side covers protect your peripheral vision and keep dust and liquid particles from getting in around the edges.
The listing states 100 per cent UV protection, which matters for outdoor work.
The listing states two clear pairs per pack.
Anyone who wears prescription glasses knows the problem: safety glasses that do not fit over them, or that push them into your face all day. These are built wider and deeper so your own frames sit inside them.
The lenses carry a scratch-resistant coating on both faces. No lens is scratch-proof, but a coated lens takes daily handling far better than an uncoated one, and a scratched lens is a lens you stop wearing.
Ventilation holes in the temples let air move across the inside of the lens. That is the practical fix for fogging, and the side covers still keep dust and splashes out of the gap.
The listing states 100 per cent UV protection, so they are useful for outdoor work as well as indoors.
The New Zealand standard for eye protection is AS/NZS 1337, and this listing does not claim that certification. If your workplace requires certified eye protection, contact us before ordering and we will ask the manufacturer what documentation exists.
Still deciding?

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit over my prescription glasses?
That is what they are made for. They are built wider and deeper than standard safety glasses so your own frames sit inside them.
Are the lenses scratch-proof?
No lens is. These are treated front and back with a clear scratch-resistant coating, which makes the surface much harder and the glasses last longer.
Will they fog up?
The temples are ventilated to let air circulate, which is what reduces fogging. Nothing fogs less than moving air.
How many pairs come in a pack?
The listing states two clear pairs per pack.
Do they block UV?
The listing states 100 per cent UV protection.
Are they tinted?
They are clear. The listing describes clear lenses for general work and lab use.
Can children wear them?
The listing mentions kids and adults. Fit is the deciding factor, and a loose pair does not protect, so check the fit on a smaller face before relying on it.
Do they meet AS/NZS 1337?
The listing does not claim it. Ask us before you order if your workplace requires certified eye protection and we will chase the manufacturer's documentation.
Can I use them for welding?
No. Welding needs a filter lens with the correct shade for the process. Clear lenses give you no protection from the arc.
Can I use them for grinding?
They are impact-rated eye protection by design, but most sites also require a face shield over the top for grinding. Check your site's rule.
Are they good for lab work?
The listing names lab use. For chemical splash work, sealed goggles or a face shield are usually specified as well.
How do I clean them?
Rinse first, then wash in warm water with mild soap and dry with a soft cloth. Never wipe dry dust off a lens, and never use solvents.
Do the side covers block my vision?
They sit at the outer edge and protect peripheral vision rather than block it.
Will they slip when I sweat?
The frame sits on your own glasses and on your head. If they move, adjust the fit or use a cord.
Can I wear them under a face shield?
Yes, and most sites expect exactly that combination.
How long do they last?
Until the lenses are scratched enough to affect your view, or after any impact.
Do they come with a case?
The listing does not mention a case. Contact us if you need one.
Do they fit large frames?
The listing describes them as fitting over everyday eyewear and designed for any size head. If your frames are unusually wide, measure them and ask us first.
Can I use them outdoors in the sun?
Yes. The listing states 100 per cent UV protection, though clear lenses do not cut glare the way a tinted lens does.
Are they comfortable all day?
They are described as lightweight and designed for all-day wear. Comfort depends on how your own frames sit inside them.
Can several people share a pair?
Clean them between users. Personal eye protection is better issued per person.
What if one pair arrives scratched?
Tell us straight away with your order number and we will replace it. That is a faulty item and we cover the return.
Do you sell them in bulk?
Yes. Use the wholesale quote form with your quantity.
Is GST added at checkout?
No GST is added at checkout. Prices are in New Zealand dollars.
Is there a warranty?
They carry the consumer guarantees of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. The listing does not publish a separate manufacturer's warranty period.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free anywhere in New Zealand on orders of $100 or more. Under $100 it is a flat $25. Express delivery is $25 on any order, whatever the total.
How long will my order take?
Orders are handled in 24 to 48 hours and then take 5 to 7 days to reach you. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel ships.
Is GST added at checkout?
No GST is added at checkout. Every price on this site is in New Zealand dollars, and the only thing added to your total is delivery if your order is under $100.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes, within 15 days of purchase. The item needs to be in its original packaging and you need your receipt or order confirmation. You pay the return postage on a change-of-mind return. If the item is faulty, not as described, or does not do what it is meant to do, we cover the return and your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 are not affected.
What if it arrives damaged?
Tell us straight away and send your order number. We cover the return postage on a damaged or lost delivery and process the refund within 24 to 48 hours of getting the item back.
