Specsavers Corporate Eyecare has
introduced prescription safety glasses
with a wraparound-style. Glasses
with a wraparound style are found by
some to be more comfortable than
traditional safety glasses and this,
coupled with a more modern look,
means that they are more likely to be
worn. The new safety glasses, which
are available in blue/crystal or clear,
are made of polycarbonate plastic, so
are hard-wearing but lightweight.

The wraparound styles are
available as an alternative
choice under the
standard safety vouchers
from Specsavers
Corporate Eyecare. They
cost the employer £36.81 for
single vision CR39 prescription
lenses and £73.62 for bifocals or
varifocals. Research carried out by
Specsavers Corporate Eyecare has
revealed that 52% of health and
safety managers believe employees
remove safety eyewear due to
discomfort or poor fit. It is not
surprising, therefore, that 81%
believe that style is an important
factor in evaluating safety eyewear.
