Onguard Safety Glasses are high-quality protective eyewear designed to shield your eyes during work in hazardous environments or while tackling home improvement projects. Whether you’re on a construction site, handling heavy machinery, or taking on a DIY project, Onguard aims to keep you safe without compromising comfort or style. 

At Eyesis Eyecare, we can help you get fitted for eyewear, which offers feature designs that prioritize safety and durability while helping meet your visual needs. 

Why Are Safety Glasses Important?

Your eyes are one of your most vulnerable and important senses. According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, approximately 200-work-related eye injuries happen daily in Canada. In many cases, these injuries are preventable with proper safety precautions, including the wearing of high-quality safety glasses. 

Safety glasses shield your eyes from harmful particles, debris, and chemicals that could cause irritation or long-term damage. Failing to wear adequate protection could result in anything from minor discomfort to more serious injury, including vision loss. 

What Makes Onguard Safety Glasses a Good Choice?

Onguard safety glasses offer an appealing blend of superior protection, comfort, design, and certifications. 

Comprehensive Protection

Onguard safety glasses are built to protect the eyes from dust, debris, impact, and UV rays. Whether you’re working indoors or outdoors, these glasses help keep your eyes safe at all times. The lenses of these glasses are made from impact-resistant polycarbonate, one of the toughest materials on the market, so they’re able to withstand many hazards.

Comfort-Focused Design

While protection is important, wearing your safety glasses for extended periods is much easier when those glasses are comfortable. Onguard safety glasses are designed with lightweight materials and adjustable features to help provide a snug and comfortable fit throughout the day. 

Stylish Options

Gone are the days of bulky, unattractive safety glasses. Eyesis Eyecare offers a wide range of stylish frames that protect your eyes without compromising your appearance. Choose from sleek modern styles, wraparound designs, or classic shapes to suit your tastes and professional image. 

Prescription-Grade Options

Vision correction and eye safety shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. At Eyesis Eyecare, we can help you obtain prescription safety glasses so those who rely on corrective lenses can work safely and conveniently. 

Certified Safety Standards

Onguard Safety Glasses comply with strict safety regulations such as the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards, leading to strong performance and trustworthiness. 

Who Should You Wear Onguard Safety Glasses?

Onguard safety glasses are versatile and can cater to a wide range of professionals and enthusiast, including: 

  • Construction workers: Protect against flying debris, heavy dust, or sparks from machinery.
  • Home improvement enthusiasts: Keep your eyes safe during woodworking, painting, or other DIY projects.
  • Healthcare professionals: Shield your eyes from potential splashes or chemical exposure in labs and hospitals.
  • Industrial workers: Safeguard against harsh elements, chemicals, and mechanical hazards in factory settings.
  • Electricians and plumbers: Prevent accidental eye injuries while working in confined or potentially dangerous spaces.
  • Outdoor enthusiasts: Protect your eyes during activities like hiking, biking, or fishing, where environmental hazards like wind, dust, and UV rays are prevalent.

Ultimately, anyone engaging in tasks that could endanger their optical health will benefit from wearing reliable safety glasses. This includes potential dangers like debris, chemicals, and UV rays.

Tips for Choosing the Right Onguard Safety Glasses?

When selecting Onguard safety glasses, consider the following factors: 

  • Activity-specific requirements: consider hazards associated with your activity. For example, if you’re handling chemicals or engaging in impact-heavy work. 
  • Prescription needs: If you need vision correction, then prescription safety glasses from Eyesis Eyecare can provide functionality and clarity. 
  • UV protection: If you’re working outdoors, it can be important to select safety glasses that shield your eyes from harmful rays. 
  • Get the right fit: Your glasses should fit comfortably or securely on your face. Adjustable frames and cushioned nose pads are features worth considering to prevent slippage and discomfort. 

By keeping these factors in mind, you can choose a pair of glasses that offer the protection, comfort, and clarity to help keep your eyes safe in many environments.

Building a Safety-First Culture

Whether you’re managing a team of workers or setting up your home workshop, prioritizing eye protection helps foster a safety culture. Encourage regular use of protective eyewear, conduct safety training sessions, and keep spare pairs of safety glasses on hand for visitors or team members who forget theirs. Accidents can happen when you least expect them, so implementing preventative measures can help avoid accidents that don’t need to happen.
