Your unique set of skills, knowledge and precision is what makes you great at your job.
Choosing the right personal protective equipment for the task at hand enables you to give your full potential regardless of the situation.
Indeed, your environment may impact your abilities to see clearly, hence impacting precision and increasing the risk of accidents in the workplace, at both your workstation and on your way to work. It is therefore important for you to be confident in your eyewear to protect you from fog-obscured vision.
Temperature variation and humidity may indeed create fog on your safety eyewear, which ultimately blurs your vision. Fogging is indeed the first challenge met by eyewear users which can ultimately lead to a decrease in your productivity.
The effect is increased as you give your best to your job and your body temperature and perspiration increase, naturally impacting the temperature variation between your body heat and the cooler environment surrounding you.
Whether you need prescription or plano safety eyewear, the probability is high that you already experienced the fogging up of your lenses while being focused on your duty, resulting in a slower pace, more approximative movements and overall discomfort.
This phenomenon is even more common when wearing other PPE such as helmets, face masks or respirators, increasing the need for an efficient, simple, and durable solution so that you always stay at your best and ensure visual clarity. PPE eyewear manufacturers have been working intensively over the years to engineer more effective anti-fog solutions, whether as coatings or sprays and ensure both protection and comfort to users in all occupations.
