Eye injuries are a common affliction pervasive in the workplace environment. According to BLS (Bureau of labor statistics), companies pay $300 million in medical care costs for eye injuries of their employees annually. The study further substantiates that three in five injured workers were not wearing any kind of protective eyewear. This is a sign of non-compliance to OHSA’s workplace safety standards as well as a great hurdle in providing protection for workers’ eyes. So what is the underlying cause? Industrial laborers often complain that their PPE (personal protective equipment) is not comfortable to wear for prolonged hours of work. In the same vein, there are some disadvantages associated with wearing contact lenses on your jobs. This article discusses why 3M Rebel RX Safety Glasses is the perfect substitute for contact lenses with vision correction option.
Causes of induced dryness in eyes
Contacts need fluids present in your eyes in order to stay in position. Although blinking frequently can replenish this fluid in our eyes, the material of contacts can give rise to irritation or discomfort. Contact lenses tend to interfere with the process of lubrication of your eyes by absorbing the fluid to maintain its locus. The problem with contact lenses is that they require such a high amount of maintenance. You may think that contacts offer me that unmatched ‘glasses-free’ appearance, however, limitations also exist. For instance, optometrists recommend 7 to 8 hours after which contacts have to be taken off in order to prevent dryness in eyes.
Environmental conditions also affect the level of dryness in our eyes. Wind can speed up the process of evaporation of eye fluids. This aggravates the dryness thereby resulting in itchiness & discomfort. This can cause the worker to take off the goggles worn over contact lenses thus exposing their eyes to workplace hazards. Furthermore, discomfort can also arise out of wearing clunky or heavy safety goggles which workers often cite as the number one reason for disregarding PPE.
Safety Eyewear to the rescue
A pair of reliable, high-quality protective eyeglasses are the simplest antidote to the problem of contacts induced dryness. You aren’t only getting the RX for vision correction but also the ANSI Z787.1 certified shatterproof durability of the lens. The polycarbonate lenses used in safety eyewear is three hundred times stronger than usual glass or plastic. They also promise 100% protection against UV A & B types of rays.
