Uvex Futura Safety Goggles Eyewear
Honeywell Uvex Futura S345C safety goggles combine a clear polycarbonate lens with Uvextreme anti-fog coating and indirect ventilation. Designed to fit over most prescription glasses, these OTG goggles support workplace eye protection where the hazard assessment calls for splash and impact protection.
Key Features
- Wraparound lens provides panoramic vision.
- Frosted brow guard helps reduce overhead glare.
- Anti-fog coating and airflow help reduce fogging.
- Replaceable lens supports ongoing maintenance.
Common Uses & Applications
- Construction and industrial maintenance.
- Manufacturing tasks requiring goggle coverage.
- Laboratory and chemical-handling tasks after hazard assessment.
- Eye-protection programs for prescription-glasses wearers.
Choosing Goggles for Prescription Glasses
OTG means over the glasses. Trial the goggles with the actual prescription frame before issuing them across a crew. Check that both sets of lenses remain correctly positioned and that the frame does not interfere with goggle fit. A model that fits most glasses is not guaranteed to fit every frame.
Consider the complete PPE combination, including respirators, helmets and face shields. Evaluate fit during normal head movement and work posture. Select additional face protection when the task presents hazards beyond the area covered by goggles.
Safety Standards & Selection
Honeywell lists Futura as meeting ANSI Z87+ high-impact requirements and states that it tested the goggles to meet CSA Z94.3 requirements.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 requires appropriate eye protection for workplace hazards. Section (a)(3) addresses protection worn over prescription lenses without disturbing either lens position. Select this model against the actual exposure and manufacturer instructions.
Indirect ventilation does not make these goggles gas-tight. The clear S345C lens is not a welding filter. Anti-fog treatment helps manage condensation but does not guarantee clear vision under every condition.
Care & Replacement
Inspect the lens, body and headband before use. Follow the supplied cleaning instructions and replace damaged components. Honeywell identifies S780C as the clear anti-fog replacement lens; confirm compatibility and availability before ordering. Do not continue hazardous work if damage or condensation obstructs vision.

FAQ
- Does S345C have a shaded lens? No. This model has a clear lens. Shaded Futura versions use different part numbers.
- Are these sealed goggles? They have indirect ventilation. Do not treat them as sealed protection against gases or vapors.
- Can I replace only the lens? Honeywell lists a replacement lens, but a damaged body or headband also requires attention before reuse.
