I use "plastic" safety glasses in my woodworking shop. Will those reading lenses stick to plastic safety glasses?

Yes. Apply with hot water and make sure they conform to the safety glasses. I have a set applied to under armor sun glasses.

I have used these on the flat glass of scuba diving masks, and they have worked fine over the years. I recently installed a pair on sun glasses with curved plastic lenses. It took a little more work to get air bubbles out from behind the lenses. They have been in place for about a month and are doing fine so far.

@mdgarnett - Yes they will. I use them on my safety glasses as well as my sunglasses. Works fine! Just remember to check them for adherence from time to time OR make a habit of taking them off and thoroughly cleaning the glasses and the lenses before reapplying. Happy woodworking!!!

They stick to plastic sunglasses so my guess is yes. I have them on a pair of Ray Ban aviators and they work fairly well. Good for reading labels, tags, etc. I don't think I would try read get a novel with them but for light reading glasses good.

I believe they would. I put them on my Oakley Razor sunglasses, which are essentially plastic. Just so you know, Duluth Trading also sells safety glasses with the bifocal built in, called "cheaters", in different strengths, if you are concerned that these half-moon lenses might fall at the inopportune moment...but I put mine on about 2 years ago and they are still on.

I'm not sure but the way to check it would be what standard the glasses are made too. All safety glasses are made to certain standards and shooting glasses are a different standard. Standards are developed through specific test methods. That would answer your question.

i bought these specifically to go over glasses.. they work great for that . plenty of room around the glasses.. no pressure against the glasses.. probably going to buy another one for the outdoor chain saw work

Yes. They work really well. I even gave out some to friends that have glasses.

Hey there, I have been using the eagle eyes clip-ons and have not scratched my lenses. There are rubberized tips on the clips to prevent damage to your lenses.

nope. I wear glasses and I use these things all the time for crafts and stuff.

I don't think you will have any problem with these and your glasses - I've worn glasses my whole life and these work great!

Ive been wearing these safety glasses for over 4 years doing telecommunications tower work. They do scratch but not very easily. I also have a lot of debris and sweat in my eyes and on my shades. I usually can get about a year out of a pair before they are to scratched to really be any use.

The lenses are polycarbonate, which is actually more expensive than glass or plastic. From WebMD: "Polycarbonate lenses. These eyeglass lenses are impact-resistant and are a good choice for people who regularly participate in sports, work in an environment in which their eyeglasses may be easily scratched or broken, and for children who may easily drop and scratch their eyeglasses. Polycarbonate lenses also provide ultraviolet protection."

My basket broke and i just put the plastic lens holder in the bottom, set my lens on that then filled with solution put the lid on and used it that way. It did not hurt my Air Optix lenses. I think the important thing is to not have the lens sitting on the metal bottom. but to have some plastic between the lens and the bottom.

Works well over a pair of prescription eyeglasses with industrial quality plastic-type safety glasses on top of them.

I just tried the Night Vision Wrap Around Glasses on without my eyeglasses and they did not slip at all. I bent my head over and did not notice any slippage. It appears that the glasses hugs the side of your head above where normal eyeglasses sit. In my opinion, you should be fine.

I've been using these for various things including cutting drywall and using a table saw to cut 2x4's for various purposes. It will stop things from flying directly into your eyes and causing damage, but finer particles will still somehow float behind the glasses and happily irritate the hell out of you. I find I can get by if I just squint and every now and then rub my eyes after a cut. However, if I was doing a lot more cutting, I'd probably want fully enclosed glasses.

I'm not sure. They come in standard "reader" strengths. I suppose you could take them to your optometrist to see if they can replace the standard lenses with your personal prescription.

I recommend discarding the lens caps. The upper ones do not protect the lens but do get in the way. The lower ones will eventually fall off and be lost (which is an improvement) or will spring up and block your view at the worst possible moment. In my experience, when the binocular is in use there has been no risk of damaging a lens. Otherwise I slip the cheap but cheerful case over them. These are exellent binoculars - so why ruin the experience fussing with Nikons utter failure to make a functional lens caps

Protective eyewear is always a good idea when working with tools. I wore my reading glasses while using the stapler, (to see) and that gave me some protection anyway. But no staples went astray. It was safe.

I think "can" is the wrong question here. Technically, yes. You could use them for organic chemistry lab or even welding. The question is whether you should... The answer to that is probably, no. Seriously though, I do not believe that these are rated for chemical safety. I would recommend a boring old pair of safety glasses. Save these for a trip to Burning Man. Your eyes may thank you.
