Prescription Safety Glasses Canada

RXLENSCA offer a compresensive range of prescription safety glasses and prescription safety goggles available with progressive or bifocal lenses

We offer trade prices on all our prescription safety glasses. You might ask yourself what prescription safety glasses and medical eyewear are doing on a sports eyewear web site. The fact is, sports and safety frames and lens requirements are very similar. The lenses are made from high impact materials and the goggles and glasses are built to the same mechanical strength. Both need to withstand an impact whether it’s from a squash ball or a piece of debris on a building site. What we have tried to do is change people’s perception of protective eyewear. Long gone are the days of the big and uncomfortable safety goggles. Instead, we aim to offer functional and fashionable frames for the office, lab and shop floor whilst still fully complying with British Safety Standards (BSI). We offer Safety eyewear that can be worn as part of your PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) but wouldn’t look out of place if worn socially. Our professional range comes CE marked and our lenses are manufactured to EN166 2002 standard for personal eye protection. Compliant frames are delivered complete with a BSI safety certificate.

RXLENSCA offers a comprehensive range of men’s and women's prescription safety glasses and goggles. We also offer a variety of prescription glazing options. You can also choose Mirror coatings, Polarised filters and Anti-Fog coating. We offer single vision distance lenses, Progressive and Bifocal vision. We offer free expert advice on best frame to meet your application and on the type of prescription lens that best suits your needs.
