Perfect for work or play, women's safety glasses are available in a wide variety of colors, styles and designs.
Safety Glasses Sized for Women
Many women of today want safety glasses that provide more than eye protection. They also want their glasses to have a comfortable fit, look stylish and be in fashion.
It wasn't that long ago that working women had to wear safety glasses designed for men, struggling with bulky glasses that were too big and heavy for their smaller faces. Manufacturers of safety glasses realized there was a great need for glasses that were lighter and smaller, made to accommodate the smaller features of a woman's face. Today many companies make safety glasses for women in an array of beautiful colors with stylish and fashionable frames.
Safety glasses for women are sized smaller, providing a better fit to a woman's narrower and smaller face. These smaller-sized safety glasses are also an ideal choice for men with small faces, older children and teens. Wearing properly fitting safety glasses is essential for maximum eye protection.
Safety Features
Just as safety glasses and goggles made to fit their male counterparts, all safety glasses for women are manufactured to meet the strict standards of the United States Department of Labor - OSHA (29 CFR 1910,133). These safety standards, ANSI Z87.1, are the 1989 version of the OSHA mandate. However, many of the safety glasses sold already comply with the new revisions of the OSHA standards. Complying to the new revisions of safety glasses is a voluntary choice of the manufacturers.
Additional identical features of safety glasses for women compared to glasses made for men include:
- A wide field of vision
- Glare reduction
- Impact protection
