FAQ
What makes Uvex Genesis® Safety Glasses different from standard safety glasses?
Uvex Genesis® Safety Glasses offer a higher level of adjustability than many basic safety glasses. They include adjustable temple length, adjustable lens inclination, soft flexible nose fingers, a soft elastomer brow guard, and an economical lens replacement system. These features help improve comfort, fit, and long-term usability.
Are these safety glasses anti-fog?
Yes. These glasses feature clear HydroShield™ anti-fog coating, which helps reduce fogging in humid, warm, or high-activity work environments. This makes them useful for workers who move between indoor and outdoor areas or work in conditions where lens fogging is a common issue.
How long does the Uvextreme anti-fog coating last? With proper cleaning — rinse before wiping, avoid alcohol-based cleaners and abrasive wipes — the Uvextreme coating typically performs well through the practical service life of the lens. Abrasive cleaning is the primary cause of early anti-fog coating failure.
Do these glasses meet ANSI standards?
Yes. These Uvex Genesis® Safety Glasses meet ANSI Z87.1-2015 requirements for occupational eye protection. They also meet CSA Z94.3 and military V0 ballistic impact test requirements.
Can the lenses be replaced?
Yes. The Uvex Genesis® eyewear system includes an economical lens replacement design, allowing users to replace lenses without replacing the entire frame. This can help reduce long-term PPE costs for companies managing multiple workers or high-use safety eyewear programs.
Are these glasses good for all-day wear?
Yes. These safety glasses are designed for extended wear. The adjustable temples, soft nose fingers, elastomer brow guard, wraparound lens, and lightweight frame help improve comfort and reduce pressure points during long shifts.
Can these safety glasses be used for welding?
Clear lenses are not intended for direct welding arc protection. For welding-related applications, workers must use the correct lens tint or shade based on the hazard and applicable safety requirements. These glasses may be suitable for general support work around welding areas only when the selected lens is appropriate for the task.
