AOSafety is the global leader in occupational prescription eyewear and has provided business and industry with comprehensive eye protection programs and products for over 90 years. Our optical laboratories and customer service centers are ISO certified. We have more than 60 frame styles in the AOSafety frame collection, as well as frame styles from other well-known safety frame brands.

AOSafety sales representatives and customer service associates are skilled in helping you design a customized program. And our extensive dispensing panel of Eye Care Professionals can provide excellent customer service to your employees through precision eyewear fitting and comprehensive eye exam services.

Why Prescription Safety Glasses? There is a difference between street or dress eyewear and safety eyewear. Safety eyewear meets the ANSI Z87.1-2003 Standard for eye protection. OSHA regulations direct employers that safety eyewear should be worn whenever there is a risk of injury to the eyes due to impact, heat, chemical, dust or optical radiation hazards.

Establishing an effective program is easy. Our trained sales representatives can help you determine what level of eye protection is required in your company. We will review the frame selection with you, the types of lenses available, and help you determine the options that should be required in your program. We can help you:

• Control your program with regards to which options are allowed and cost per pair of eyewear.
• Inform your employees when they are eligible, how optical dispensing arrangements have been made and where to order eyewear, and which options are allowed and not allowed in your program.
• Instruct our dispensing panel of eye care professionals on what options your employees may have and which options are not allowed.

At AOSafety, we perform meticulous tests to ensure that our eyewear passes high mass and high-speed requirements. All AOSafety frames meet or exceed the ANSI Z87.1-2003 Standard. You can rely on our product to help protect the valuable gift of sight.

AOSafety's frame collection offers frames with fitting features like soft adjustable nose pads, silicone nose pads, form-fit bridges, and spring hinges. Our frame collection ranges from basic plastic frames to fashionable and trendy Titanium frames that are lightweight, corrosion resistant, and stylish. In between, we have a vast array of other plastic and metal frames including contemporary styles for men and women in a variety of shapes, colors, sizes and price points.

Comprehensive eye protection means providing your employees with sideshield protection as well. AOSafety provides a wide selection of sideshield options. Most of our frame styles are offered with a Brow-Guard sideshield - either detachable or permanently attached. Our Brow-Guard sideshields are made from Polycarbonate and are available in Clear or Gray. Some AOSafety frame styles are offered with our Breeze-Catcher (wire mesh) or perforated full-cup sideshields. AOSafety provides sideshield protection for virtually any job task.

Prescription lenses are available in Duralite Polycarbonate, Plastic CR-39, and Glass materials. When manufactured to the guidelines as established by ANSI Z87.1-2003, all three materials are approved for use in safety prescription eyewear. AOSafety strongly recommends the use of Polycarbonate lenses for safety eyewear. Polycarbonate is the most impact resistant lens material available in the market today and offers significantly greater impact resistance than Glass or Plastic CR-39 lenses. Lenses are available with a wide array of options.

• Single Vision, Bifocal, Trifocal, Occupational, and Progressive Addition Lenses (No-Line Bifocals).
• Tints in a variety of colors and shades, some for cosmetic affect and others designed to offer additional protection against sodium flare, glare, ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Refer to ANSI Z87.1 Standards for recommendations and guidelines, or contact your AOSafety sales representative.
• Coatings to increase lens durability and improve optical performance.
• Transitions, Polarized, and Photochromic lenses.

AOSafety provides you with an extensive panel of Eye Care Professionals. We can provide dispensing services to you through off-site dispensing programs, or on-site dispensing programs by an AOSafety-employed optician or contracted dispensing optician.

Our panel of nearly 4,000 Eye Care Professionals will provide courteous and thorough assistance, and can help your employees with the eyewear selection process and ensure a proper fit. Once eyewear selection is complete, the Eye Care Professional will place the order with one of our optical laboratories and will promptly contact your employee when the eyewear is completed.

If your program is just starting up, you may want to consider our "blitz" program where we provide on-site dispensing services in the beginning to expedite getting your employees compliant and into safety prescription eyewear. After a short period of time providing on-site dispensing, we then convert your program to our off-site dispensing panel.

Or, if your program warrants it with sufficient volume to make it cost effective for you, we can establish a permanent on-site dispensing program on a regularly scheduled basis. This program can be particularly effective if you have a large number of employees in one location.

AOSafety's optical laboratories were the first optical labs in North America to be ISO certified. Our state-of-the-art facilities have the latest in optical manufacturing equipment and are staffed by an experienced optical manufacturing team.

Our excellent quality and service is your assurance that your employees are receiving the very best in safety prescription eyewear. Our average production turnaround time is less than three days, and our remake percentage ranks among the lowest in the optical industry. At AOSafety, getting safety eyewear right, and delivered on time to your employees, is something we take very seriously.
