Lens Color Applications

Lens Color Applications

When browsing options for your PPE, you may find that eye protection is one of our largest categories. The fit, style, lens color, lens size, nose piece, and countless other features of each pair of glasses results in the ability to find a good fit for the setting and the wearer. For the purposes of this blog, we are going to quickly cover the variety of lens colors you have to choose from.

For the indoor category, you will see options for clear, yellow/amber, orange, and light/infinity blue. Each of these lens colors serves its own purpose. A clear lens will allow high levels of light transmission, providing protection from debris in lower light/indoor settings. The yellow lens is designed to enhance the brightness of visible light, blocking low levels of blue light. Similarly, orange lenses block mid-range levels of blue light. Blue lenses are best for fluorescent lighting, filtering out yellow light. 

Outdoor lens colors include gray/smoke, brown/bronze, silver mirror, color mirror, and polarized lenses. Gray lenses provide protection from bright sunlight without distorting colors, while brown lenses will offer a bit more contrast in outdoor lower light settings. All mirror lenses generally work to reflect light, limiting glare. The addition of color (as opposed to silver) for mirror lenses serves to filter blue light in addition to glare reduction. Polarized lenses, which are often on the higher-end of the price range, are also on the higher end of glare elimination for great visibility and low eye fatigue. Both mirror lenses and polarized lenses come in their own range of colors based on preference.

Finally, some workers may benefit from an indoor/outdoor lens, which provides 50% light transmission. This allows the glass to block some of the bright light when outdoors while still allowing good visibility upon transitioning to inside settings. 

Lens color can make a huge difference in the day-to-day experience of a worker. By selecting a color that limits eye fatigue based on the environment, we can ensure that each individual is maintaining focus and the best visibility possible. This, in turn, lowers the risk of mistakes or injury.  

We are happy to talk over your setting and processes to discern what would be best for you! Give us a call at 919-602-2503 or reach out to marketing@safetypackonline.com.
