Great idea but these did not have a very large magnification area and were some what distorted. Perhaps I need practice using them? My dental hygienist used similar glasses but hers were much better. Need to talk to my dentist about getting some.

love the glasses!

Finally able to see what I am doing! Now I don't have to choose between seeing where the power saw is cutting or safety.
Wish a tinted version was offered for outdoor work.

Comments about Bifocal Safety Glasses:

Very good eye protection. However, the bifocal part of the lens is too low to be very useful without having to tip one's head back pretty far.

Handy item!

Comments about Bifocal Safety Glasses:

It's nice to be able to work without having to layer my readers under safety goggles or to risk inadequate coverage and protection by wearing only readers for risky activities. I ordered a 2.00 magnification but they don't seem that powerful. There is a bit of a learning curve since I've never worn bifocals before.

Comments about Bifocal Safety Glasses:

This product is great for anyone who has good vision but needs occassional reading glasses. I work as a registered nurse first assistant in surgery, and need protective eyewear. These not only provide great protection, but they also give magnification which enables better vision for fine detail work (suturing, etc). My husband and I have also been wearing them for protection when we mountain bike on the heavily wooded trails in Michigan. Sunglasses are too dark, but these are perfect for protecting our eyes from injury from branches and bugs.

So far, so good

These are about the same as others I've purchased except for the bifocal placement which seems a bit high for me. Takes some getting used to.

I am a surgical technologist and must wear eye protection in all surgical cases. I have searched for a eye protection with the "cheeters" I need. I am trying these out but they take a good time getting used to. I'll let you know more when I am aclimated
