safety glasses

Workshop eye shields

Safety glasses are protective eyewear designed to shield the eyes from hazards—flying debris, chemical splashes, sparks, or intense light.

They're standard equipment in workshops, laboratories, and construction sites: Always wear safety glasses when operating the grinder.

Unlike regular glasses, they wrap around or have side shields to block particles from any angle.
