We are an engineering company were the requirement to wear safety glasses in machine shops etc is MANDATORY. Those that wear our standard issue safety glasses have commented that they sometimes feel that the safety glasses magnify their vision that effects their eye sight etc when walking and carrying out tasks. Our standard safety glasses are from a very reputable company and were chosen as when visited by an HSE Inspector, recognised as a product with a very low magnifaction. As this was just under a year ago and technology moves on, can anybody recommend a very low magnification, robust and adjustable safety glasses product or any advice with regards such an issue they may have come accross? This is without issuing each employee (200+) with a personally chosen pair of non-prescription safety glasses, as has been suggested, but time consuming? Thanks,

I had the pleasure of implementing a safety glasses policy six years ago in a laboratory setup. There were comments in relation to a slight magnification but most issues were to do with the light seeming brighter giving people sore heads. The curviture of the lens also makes it look like a slight magnification. There were two answers that I found: 1) Try to use glasses that do not curve too much but also have a blank side that light does not get through. This helped the majority. 2) Get slightly tinted safety glasses. This helped. Also for prescription safety glasses these two points apply. I hope this is of help. Son of skywalker
