Product Overview
The PS26 Side Shields Safety Glasses represent a sophisticated approach to eye protection, blending a modern full-frame aesthetic with technical functionality. Specifically engineered for professionals who endure prolonged exposure to artificial lighting or digital screens, the light brown lens serves a critical role in filtering blue light. This filtration is essential for reducing eye fatigue and discomfort, allowing for greater concentration during demanding tasks. The inclusion of integrated side shields provides comprehensive lateral protection, ensuring that the wearer is shielded from hazards originating from the periphery.
Key Features
- Integrated Side Shields: These shields offer vital lateral protection, preventing debris or splashes from reaching the eyes from the side, which is a common vulnerability in standard eyewear.
- Blue Light Protection: The light brown tint is specifically formulated to mitigate the strain caused by extensive exposure to screens and artificial light sources, promoting long-term ocular comfort.
- Full Frame Design: A modern, robust frame style that provides structural integrity and a secure, professional appearance on-site.
- Impact Resistant Polycarbonate: Constructed from high-grade polycarbonate, these glasses offer substantial protection against impacts while remaining comfortable for all-day wear.
Design & Performance
Performance in safety eyewear is defined by the balance of durability and wearer comfort. These glasses are manufactured from polycarbonate, a material renowned for its high impact resistance and lightweight properties. This ensures that the frames can withstand the rigours of a busy workshop or construction site without becoming a burden to the wearer. The integration of rubber components ensures the glasses remain securely in position, even during strenuous physical activity. The light brown tint does not merely provide protection; it enhances visual clarity in environments dominated by harsh overhead lighting, making it a functional choice for indoor and technical outdoor roles.
Why No Customisation?
As this item is a certified piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), MyWorkwear does not offer customisation options such as printing or embroidery. Any modification to the frame or lenses could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the product or interfere with the wearer's field of vision. To ensure these safety glasses perform exactly as intended by their safety certifications, they are supplied in their original, un-altered state.
Use Cases
These safety glasses are highly recommended for a wide range of trades, including electricians, mechanics, and plumbers who often work under intense artificial light. They are equally suited for professionals in the aviation and construction sectors, as well as site managers and safety inspectors who transition between digital reporting and active site environments.

Practical Advice
For maximum effectiveness, the glasses should be worn so the frame sits close to the face, allowing the side shields to fully cover the eye area. While these glasses are excellent for reducing glare from artificial light, they are not intended for use as sunglasses in direct, high-intensity sunlight. When paired with other PPE, such as hard hats or respiratory protection, ensure the arms of the glasses do not interfere with the seal or fit of your other equipment.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the clarity of your lenses is vital for both safety and the longevity of the product. We recommend cleaning the lenses regularly using a dedicated lens cleaning solution or mild soapy water. Avoid using paper towels or dry, abrasive cloths, as these can create micro-scratches on the polycarbonate surface that will eventually impair your vision and reduce the lens's effectiveness.
When not in use, store your safety glasses in a protective pouch or case. This simple step prevents the lenses from coming into contact with tools or rough surfaces, which can cause significant damage. A well-maintained lens ensures you can see hazards clearly, which is the primary purpose of any high-quality safety spectacle.
