## Description

The magnifying safety glasses from Carson give the dual benefit of protective eyewear with the included clip-on, flip up magnifying lenses to help aid with any low vision needs. The distortion-free clip-on, flip up magnifying lenses contain a 1.6x power magnification which is equivalent to +2.5 diopters. The safety glasses contain scratch resistant polycarbonate lenses and cushioned rubber temple pads for maximum user comfort. The clear lens design also provide UV a/b/C protection along with protective side Shields. The magnifying safety glasses are rated for eye protection against low to moderate impact hazards but are not unbreakable. We do not recommend them for any high impact hazards such as but not limited to shooting, racket sports, paintball or any other similar activities. Pitted or scratched lenses reduce vision and seriously reduce protection and should be replaced immediately. The safety glasses do not provide Unlimited protection. They must be worn for the whole duration of exposure to hazards. Leave the work area if any irritation occurs or if the glasses become damaged or cracked. These safety glasses meet the ANSI/ISEA Z87. 1-2015 personal eye protection standard for impact resistance. These glasses are not rated to protect from hazards including, but not limited to chemical, heat, welding, dust, light (IR/UV/laser/etc. ) and splash hazards. Additional protective eyewear such as face Shields and helmets should be worn to provide additional protection depending on the application and the manufacturer's specifications. The magnifying safety glasses come included with a protective PVC storage pouch with a magnetic enclosure system. This protective eyewear is great for multiple hobbies, crafts, tasks and other low vision tasks. They are backed by Carson limited lifetime . Please contact Carson for additional information.

Review: Best safety glasses for detail work - As a tool room machinist, I do a lot of detailed work and inspection. I am very satisfied and highly recommend these glasses. The safety glasses themselves are well constructed and of good quality. The flip down magnifier that clips onto them has a good, clear magnification and the ease of use is excellent. I was concerned they might feel a bit too heavy but they are actually quite comfortable to wear throughout a work shift. If you need magnification intermittently, I highly recommend these.
Review: These are great on two fronts. - My daughter just started wood shop in high school. She's been to my garage wood shop a few times. It isn't always easy getting scolded by her. She's asked where my safety things are. For me, it's hard because I need cheater glasses to read my tape measure. And switching between my cheaters and safety glasses gets old quick. But with these awesome glasses, I have no excuses, and don't make any. I use them every time i walk into my shop. Great Job Carson. Life long customer unless I get eye surgery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost perfect.
*by F***K on February 29, 2020*

These don't feel much heavier than a standard set of safety glasses to me. Its great being able to just flip down the magnifier rather having to swap out my safety glasses for readers, every ten minutes, or worse, wear a pair of large goggles that barely fit over my readers and fog up too easily. And the price is reasonable enough to buy extra pairs, for when you lose the magnifying attachment, which while reasonably well made, will still catch things and pull off easily, especially when flipped up. I was a bit confused by the 1.5 power/2.5 diopter lingo. I vaguely understand the difference between magnification and diopter. It seems to mostly affect the range of magnification, in that the degree of magnification varies between the two distinctions the farther you are away from what you're looking at: 1.5 mag will be clearer at 5-8 feet than 1.5 diopter, but they'll be about the same clarity at 1-2 feet away. For 5-8 feet distances, 1.0 diopter would be more equivalent to 1.5 mag. These glasses however, have almost the exact same magnification properties of my 2.5 mag readers in terms of reading clarity up close. So, I'm at a loss as to why they claim only 1.5 power. Regardless, they currently suit my needs well in that department. Any work beyond arms length becomes blurred. But you just flip them up and keep going. These are not bifocal magnifiers. The entire flip down lens magnifies, which is what makes them so ideal compared to other alternatives for those who just need something for up close, not for a distance yet. I haven't used these in the summer yet, but based on just a few warmer winter days here in the humid south, I suspect a head strap will be crucial in warm weather, if you're not working in the AC. The nose piece doesn't feature any rubber coating to keep them from slipping down your nose when you start to sweat. That might be just as well, as flexible rubber pieces tend to fall off, and fixed ones tend to dissolve from the salt in your sweat after a season. Unfortunately, snugging them against your face will cause them to cloud a bit, even if you're not noticeably perspiring. A foam or rubber top that keeps the lenses farther away from your brow would probably go a long way toward alleviating this. Though, ideally, I'd also love to see these offered with a foam liner that fits against your face, fully encircling each lens. I fell in love with such when riding motorcycles, as in addition to not fogging up nearly as easily from sweat, it keeps the air out of your eyes, something that would be extremely helpful in fields where wearing a dust mask along with goggles is routine.
