Many jobs, especially here in Wichita require safety eyewear, that is glasses, goggles, or shields that protect your eyes, and face from harm. Whether it’s for your job, or for a hobby, that could potentially bring you harm, like rock climbing, safety glasses are a great choice for protecting your eyes from getting hurt, while also correcting your vision. If your employer requires safety glasses for your job, then they might have a corporate contract for safety eyewear, where their employees can get their safety eyewear at a discount, or even for free. If you are interested in safety glasses, you should come by and see one of our Eyewear Addiction Specialists, and ask about what kind of safety eyewear we offer!
