At Simpson Optometrists, we understand how important it is to have the right eyewear for your specific working environment. Whether you need prescription safety glasses for physical protection or occupational glasses to ease eye strain during screen time, we’ve got you covered.

Prescription Safety Glasses: Comfort and Protection

If you work in an environment where eye protection is essential, prescription safety glasses are a must. They eliminate the need to wear uncomfortable goggles over your regular glasses and are designed for prolonged comfort and protection.

Our safety glasses are available with:

  • Single Vision lenses
  • Bifocals
  • Multifocals

These options ensure you have the appropriate vision correction for your specific needs. In many cases, employers cover the cost of your safety glasses, making them an affordable investment in your eye health. Our safety glasses meet high standards of impact resistance and are suitable for a range of industries, from construction to manufacturing.

Occupational Glasses: Reduce Eye Strain and Improve Productivity

Do you experience eye strain or blurred vision while working on a computer? You may be suffering from Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), a condition that affects many people who spend long hours in front of screens. The visual demands of computer work are different from other activities, and without the right glasses, your eyes can become fatigued and uncomfortable.

VDU (Visual Display Unit) glasses are specifically designed to reduce the symptoms of CVS. These glasses can help:

  • Minimize eye strain
  • Reduce blurred vision
  • Improve focus during prolonged computer use

We also recommend Hoya’s Blue Control UV coating, which filters out the harmful blue light emitted by screens, helping to reduce eye fatigue and protect your vision from digital strain. This special coating is available for all lenses and is particularly beneficial for those who spend a lot of time using computers, tablets, smartphones, or even watching television.
