Regrettably, eye injuries remain prevalent in various workplaces, posing a significant risk to workers. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), approximately 2,000 eye injuries requiring medical attention occur daily. These injuries can result from various hazards, such as flying debris, chemical spills, insect contact, and exposure to ultraviolet or infrared radiation. It is disheartening to note that safety experts and eye doctors believe that 90% of these injuries could have been mitigated or prevented entirely through appropriate eye protection.
Introducing the DM3: Polarized Safety Lenses with Magnification Technology
It is disheartening to note that safety experts and eye doctors believe that 90% of these injuries could have been mitigated or prevented entirely through appropriate eye protection. One common scenario leading to eye injuries is the removal of safety glasses for reasons such as fogging, scratched lenses, wrong lens color, or eye strain.
With regards to eye strain, there are instances where workers remove protective eyewear to read the paperwork, necessitating reading glasses. On industrial job sites, swapping safety glasses for reading glasses to review instruction manuals or safety guidelines needlessly puts workers' eyes at risk. To combat these issues, we proudly present our latest innovation, the DM3—a revolutionary combination of polarized safety lenses and magnification technology. These lenses offer optimal visual clarity while ensuring the utmost safety.
This article will highlight MCR Safety's new polarized bifocal safety glasses featuing the MAX 36™ coating, providing three times greater scratch resistance and six times greater fog resistance than traditional safety glasses. We want to take this opportunity to introduce you to our safety glasses with bifocals, with a particular emphasis on our innovative polarized option. By prioritizing eye safety and leveraging cutting-edge technology, we aim to equip workers with superior eye protection that ensures optimal visual performance and minimizes unnecessary risks.
As individuals age, their eyesight often changes, necessitating corrective lenses. Multifocal eyeglass lenses, also known as "bifocal safety glasses," "readers," or "magnifiers," offer a solution by incorporating two or more lens powers to address vision needs at various distances. This becomes particularly relevant when individuals experience presbyopia, a condition where the eyes naturally lose the ability to adjust focus for different distances.
As people age, they often require tools that aid their vision.
Bifocal safety glasses serve a dual purpose. They provide essential safety protection against work-related hazards and feature two lens powers, enabling clear vision at both near and distant ranges. By wearing these glasses, individuals can effectively focus on objects within an approximate distance of 18 inches from their eyes and objects located further away.
Often referred to as safety glasses with readers, bifocal safety glasses ensure your eyes remain protected from eyestrain and environmental hazards throughout the day. They allow for seamless transitions between tasks that require clear vision at different distances, ensuring that your eyes receive 100% protection at all times. By embracing the versatility of bifocal lenses, individuals can enjoy improved vision and safety, enabling them to navigate various tasks with ease and clarity.
As previously mentioned, bifocal safety glasses include two distinct lens powers to address different vision needs. The bottom part of the lens features a lens for correcting near vision, enabling clear focus on objects up close. On the other hand, the rest of the lens is optimized for distant vision, ensuring crisp and clear visibility of objects further away.
To utilize the lens powers effectively, individuals can employ a simple technique. When attempting to see objects in the distance, they can look through the top portion of the glasses, utilizing the lens power designed for distant vision. Conversely, when focusing on objects closer to them, they can direct their gaze downward, utilizing the bifocal portion of the lenses specifically tailored for near vision.
This ingenious design allows wearers to switch between viewing objects at varying distances, ensuring optimal vision clarity and convenience. Whether you need to examine something nearby or observe something in the distance, bifocal safety glasses offer a practical solution that accommodates both requirements within a single eyewear solution.
When selecting the ideal bifocal safety glasses, you must consider some different features. Three key considerations are strength, style, and lens color, each significantly ensuring optimal vision and comfort.
It is crucial to determine the correct strength of bifocal safety glasses to ensure clear and focused vision. Lens strength is measured in diopters, with increments of 0.25 (e.g., 1.50, 1.75, 2.00). MCR Safety offers lenses in strengths of 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5. The right strength can be determined by trying on safety glasses with lenses of different strengths or by utilizing our online test specifically designed for this purpose.

At MCR Safety, we prioritize your well-being during working hours and your leisure time. If you're an active sports enthusiast, consider the invaluable benefits of safety glasses. ANSI Z87 polarized safety glasses are valuable companions during various recreational activities. Whether you're backpacking, canoeing, hunting, or kayaking, safeguarding your eyes becomes essential. Engaging in these outdoor pursuits exposes your eyes to hazards, including glare and reflections.
Polarized safety glasses are particularly effective in countering these challenges. They shield your eyes from the sun's intense glare and reflection of water surfaces, allowing for enhanced visibility and greater comfort. This proves especially beneficial when looking beneath the water's surface while fishing or participating in water-based activities. Furthermore, safety magnifiers are also indispensable for fishing enthusiasts. With polarized glasses, your eyes receive reliable protection against glare and reflections, enabling you to see into the water more efficiently and comfortably. Moreover, these glasses shield against flying fish hooks that may unexpectedly emerge if the catch gets away or if a fellow angler casts nearby. Opting for a wraparound style ensures complete protection, safeguarding your eyes from potential hazards at every angle.
