Can employees wear eyeglasses while wearing eye and face protection?

Yes, but special care must be taken when choosing eye protection for employees who wear eyeglasses with corrective lenses, such as the following:

• Prescription spectacles, with side shields and protective lenses meeting the requirements of ANSI Z87.1, that also correct the individual employee’s vision.
• Goggles that can fit comfortably over corrective eyeglasses without disturbing the alignment of the eyeglasses.
• Goggles that incorporate corrective lenses mounted behind protective lenses.
