Ensuring your safety eyewear fits properly

Fit and comfort go hand in hand. Eyewear should deliver a low-pressure, lightweight fit with even weight distribution. Thanks to uvex’s German-engineered dual-injection mould technology, hard and soft components can be combined within frames enabling them to flex. As a result, wearers can achieve a more tailored fit which is comfortable, long-lasting and ensures the eyewear stays put.

uvex’s technique of combining injection moulded hard and soft materials around the brow, nose and within the side arms, allows products to adapt to the wearer’s facial features. This not only increases comfort, it ensures correct fit and helps keep eyewear in place to deliver the intended level of protection.

Simply wearing any old pair of safety eyewear isn’t enough to protect your eyes. Undoubtedly it decreases the possibility of an injury, but if you have poorly fitted eyewear you are putting yourself at a higher risk. Did you know 2,500 people injure their eyes at work each year in the UK? Don't become a statistic - it’s all about proper WEARABILITY.

At uvex we understand that one size doesn't fit all and is committed to the design and production of product solutions that can be tailored to individual requirements delivering consistency of protection and performance levels. We offer a range of safety eyewear to suit all facial shapes and areas of application whether working in confined spaces or out on a constriction site.
