I believe we’ve mentioned bifocal safety glasses in passing, but I thought I’d take a little time to go into more detail on these little beauties.

Bifocal safety glasses combine a polycarbonate (hard plastic) lens with essentially reading glasses.  This way you don’t need two pair of glasses to get the job done.  Most would assume that these glasses are great for individuals with ailing vision… and they are, but many people overlook the fact that these versatile glasses can also be used for detail work.

Now, when selecting a pair of bifocal safety glasses, it’s important to understand the diopters (magnifiers).  Commonly found ranging between 1.0 and 3.0 powers, it is important to remember that the higher the number the stronger the magnification.  So, if you need a little help… a 1.5 might work, and if you need things pretty big consider a 3.0.

Before, I wrap this up there are one additional note I want to make…  I have yet to hear of an entire lens that is magnified and I suspect that it’s a safety hazard.  If you’re interested, check out this selection of bifocal safety glasses.
