General
What are splash safety glasses?
The care medical professionals provide to their patients often involves exposure to their illness or their bodily fluids, which puts the eyes and health of medical workers at risk. Splash safety glasses are a part of Personal Protective Equipment that is worn by healthcare workers to protect their eyes from splashes, fluids or pathogens from their patients.
Splash Safety Glasses provide 360-degree coverage either in the shape of wraparound safety frames or flat/ straight frames with added side shields.
Who should wear splash safety glasses?
All healthcare professionals (nurses, doctors, specialists, medical students, vets, dentists) should wear eye protection whenever there is the risk of splash or splattering of blood or body fluids, secretions or excretions to avoid eye injury, infections and diseases.
What are the health risks of not wearing splash safety glasses?
Many pathogens, including HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome, herpes B virus, plague, rabies, and Ebola, have been documented to be transmitted via eye exposure. Splashes to the eyes can result in the transmission of bloodborne pathogens, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that compromises one's health or end up with something that damages one's eyes and vision. The risk of loss can be incredibly great.

Cleaning & Maintenance
How do I clean my splash glasses?
How do I store my splash safety glasses safely?
Always store your splash safety glasses in your hard protective case when not using them.
Do not leave your glasses in a hot area. The heat can warp the frame.
Do not set your glasses close to the sinks and vanities. They can get splashed with corrosive substances in these areas.
Avoid putting your glasses on top of your head. The top of the head is generally wider than the face and can widen the frame.
Don’t push on the nosepiece. The motion can distort the nose piece; try to adjust it before placing it on your face.
Use both hands to remove your lead glasses. The motion will keep your frame’s alignment and minimise changes over time.
If you need to remove your glasses constantly, use an eyewear strap attached securely to the temple arms of the frame.

Lens Coatings
What is the benefit of anti-reflective coating? Should I add it to my splash safety glasses?
This is an individual decision. Adding an anti-reflective coating to your safety lenses will increase your comfort. As light enters a lens, roughly 85% passes through while the remaining light is reflected off the surface as glare. Glare can be distracting, especially in a healthcare environment where lighting is intense. Anti-reflective coating reduces the glare and lets more light through. Therefore, it improves your vision by approximately 10%.

What is the benefit of anti-fog coating? Should I add it to my splash safety glasses?
Anti-fog-coated lenses help keep a permanent clear vision as moisture can built-up when wearing a face mask. The main causes of fogging in a medical environment are body heat and wearing face coverings. A face mask tends to cause our warm breath to go up into the area of our eyes, resulting in fogging lenses. The anti-fog coating can reduce the fogging of your lenses and you won't have to take off your safety glasses which keeps your eyes safe.

Can I return lead glasses with anti-reflective or anti-fog coating?
If you ordered splash glasses with lens coatings, but without name engraving or prescription , then you can still return your splash glasses as part of our 30-day return policy. If the product has a manufacturer's fault, you can return safety glasses with name engraving, prescription or lens coatings at all times. Please read the details in our return policy .
Sizing
How do I know if my frames will fit?
All of our Splash safety frames have the option to be purchased as non-prescription before having prescription lenses made. This is ideal for the opportunity to try them on and ensure a proper fit. If they do not fit you can return your safety glasses within 30 days of purchase. Read our return policy .
You can also reference the frame markings on the inside of your current frames to narrow down what size may fit you best. If you take a look at the inside of the current pair of your glasses, you may notice 3 sets of numbers. Sometimes it is found on the arms (temple bar) or on the bridge (the part that goes over your nose). Those sets of numbers are your frame’s measurements. The first number is your lens width. The second number is the bridge measurement. The third number is the temple bar length. All our eyewear shows the frame measurements on the product pages.
