Uvex Genesis Vapor Blue Safety Glasses with Clear Lens
Uvex Genesis S3240 safety glasses pair a Vapor Blue frame with a clear polycarbonate lens and Ultra-dura scratch-resistant hard coat. Vapor Blue describes the frame color, not a blue lens tint. This model provides an untinted view for indoor manufacturing, assembly, inspection and maintenance work.
The wraparound lens, adjustable temple length and adjustable lens inclination help workers position the eyewear comfortably. Soft flexible nose fingers and an elastomer brow guard provide cushioned contact points. The Genesis lens-replacement system allows a compatible lens to be fitted when replacement is appropriate.

Ultra-dura Hard Coat vs. Anti-Fog
S3240 is the Ultra-dura hard-coated version. It should not be ordered as a HydroShield or Uvextreme anti-fog model. If lens misting is a concern, compare a documented anti-fog version before purchasing. Frame ventilation does not establish an anti-fog coating.
For repeat crew orders, record the complete model number, frame color and coating. Similar-looking Genesis glasses can have different lens treatments. Clear lenses also do not provide the visible-light shading of sunglasses; choose the lens for the lighting where employees actually work.
Fit, Cleaning and Replacement
Check fit with required hard hats, hearing protection and other PPE. Adjust the temples and lens angle to keep the glasses stable without excessive pressure. A flexible nosepiece helps accommodate different profiles but does not guarantee a suitable fit for every worker.
Inspect lenses and frames before use. Follow the supplied cleaning instructions and replace damaged components or scratched lenses that interfere with vision. Use only a manufacturer-approved replacement lens for the exact frame; the Genesis family includes several configurations.
Safety Standards and Selection
The manufacturer brochure lists ANSI Z87.1-2015 high-impact performance and CSA Z94.3-2015 for Genesis eyewear. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 requires eye and face protection suited to workplace hazards, including side protection where flying objects present a risk.
Clear safety glasses are not sealed chemical-splash goggles or welding filter lenses. Select additional protection based on the hazard assessment. A hard coat does not establish chemical-splash or arc-flash protection.
