Eye protection MUST be used when there is a risk of harmful exposure to the eyes.

Eye and face protection are divided into the following 3 categories:

Protective glasses
Protective glasses with either polycarbonate or acetate lenses.

Goggles – close‑fitting eyewear
Safety glasses that fit closely to the face. The goggles can be sealed or ventilated.

Visors and face shields
Used to protect the wearer against splashes, particles, heat and welding light. Available as a headband with a visor mounted on a helmet, together with respiratory protection, or as a welding helmet.

How to choose the right prescription safety glasses?

According to Danish law, an employee is entitled to employer‑paid safety glasses if their job requires them. Therefore, Stadsing is happy to help you choose the right prescription safety glasses.

We carry a wide selection of prescription safety glasses from uvex. All models are approved according to EN 166.

How to choose

Choose a frame you like – we stock both classic and sportier models. Be aware that there may be limitations in available prescription strengths and lens types depending on whether you choose plastic, metal or rimless frames. Information will be listed with the specific model in the catalogue so you get the correct prescription glasses.

Choose the desired lens material and type, for example single‑vision, progressive, etc. Lens material should be chosen based on your working environment.

Several models offer the option of narrow or wide lenses. In the catalogue this is described, for example, as: Lens size 52/20. Lens width is 52 mm and nose bridge is 20 mm.

Optionally select a special surface treatment (coating) – again depending on your work tasks, for example scratch resistance. This way you get safety glasses that suit your needs.
