Fit-over - Frame 10
Benefits: Offers a large field of vision. Has side shields for effective eye coverage and protection. Has 1 piece adjustable temples. Fits over prescription glasses and most splash goggles.
The Fit-over 10 Frame is our best-selling frame by a decisive margin - it is typically the most economical solution for labs looking to buy laser eyewear that will fit everyone reducing expense for individual-specific protective eyewear. In almost all situations that are not atypical (for e.g.; fitting eyewear underneath a face shield etc.), this frame is highly recommended when the choice is polycarbonate glasses.
Spectacle - Frame 35
Benefits: Fits large heads and faces. Fits over most standard prescription glasses. Pros include high comfort and side-protection with a wide view of vision. This is our second most popular frame and is our best option for Glass and Dielectric-Coated glasses.
Sports-Wrap - Frame 38
Benefits: It close-fits the face giving an overall sleek-sporty look. Fits under most splash goggles and has been used under face shields. It offers good side protection.
Aviator - Frame 40
Benefits: Least common frame sold. However, a few customers do like the feel that it provides.
Goggle - Frame 25
Benefits: Surrounds very large prescription glasses and offers a close fit. Works well with laminated lenses where two lenses are glued together.
Cons: Most expensive frame in the range. It is also the most pervasive on the face.
