Read is great- fitting, cost-effective, super-light bifocal eye protection available in five diopter strengths: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0. Read frames help prevent the hazardous practice of switching back and forth between regular safety glasses and reading glasses on the job. A durable polycarbonate frame provides extra side protection, and all-day comfort. And of course, the clear lenses are ANSI-rated hard-coated polycarbonate with BK-Anti-FOG, which lasts a full two minutes for clearer vision on the job.
