Protective Glasses: The Differences Between Anti-Fog, Anti-Shatter and Photochromic Lenses

In the workplace, it is necessary to protect the eyes with adequate personal protective equipment:

• Eyeglasses
• Masks
• Visors or face shields

When talking about protective glasses, it is essential to choose the right type of lenses to ensure maximum safety depending on the environment and professional needs.

In this article we will look at the three most common and used types of lenses in the field of eye protection devices.

Anti-fog lenses: for clear visibility at all times

One of the critical issues in using protective eyewear is the fogging of the lenses, especially in humid environments or during activities that cause sweating.

Anti-fog lenses are treated with coatings that prevent condensation from forming on the surface. Thanks to PLATINUM technology, the Bollè Safety COBRA safety glasses , guarantee excellent visibility even in conditions of humidity and temperature changes, and allow you to overcome this annoying problem.

Anti-shock lenses: maximum protection against impacts

Anti-impact lenses are essential for those who work in industrial, agricultural, construction or mechanical workshop environments. They are made of resistant materials such as polycarbonate, designed to resist the risk of impacts, splashes of material or flying particles.
