WHICH BOLLÉ SAFETY PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE WITH PRESCRIPTION LENSES?
YOUR GUIDE TO PLANO VS. RX SAFETY GLASSES
When it comes to workplace safety, clear vision is just as important as reliable eye protection. Bollé Safety offers a wide range of safety eyewear designed to protect your eyes in demanding environments, but did you know that many of the brand's most popular models are also available with prescription (Rx) lenses?
Whether you have perfect vision or require corrective lenses, choosing the right type of safety glasses will help you stay comfortable, productive and protected throughout your workday.
In this guide, we'll explain the difference between plano and Rx safety glasses, highlight the benefits of prescription safety eyewear, and show you which Bollé Safety products are available in both versions.
STANDARD (PLANO) vs. PRECRIPTION (RX)
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE ?
STANDARDS (PLANO)
Safety Glasses
Plano refers to safety glasses fitted with non-prescription lenses. These lenses provide eye protection but do not correct your vision.
Plano safety glasses are ideal if you:
- Don't wear prescription glasses.
- Already have good vision.
- Need certified eye protection for work or leisure activities.
Most Bollé Safety products are available as standard plano safety glasses, with a variety of lens tints and technologies depending on the application.
PRESCRIPTION (RX)
Safety Glasses
Rx stands for prescription. These safety glasses use the same certified protective frame but are fitted with lenses made to your individual prescription.
Prescription safety glasses are recommended for anyone who normally wears glasses and wants both vision correction and certified eye protection in a single product.
Depending on your prescription requirements, Rx lenses may be available as:
- Single vision lenses
- Progressive (multifocal) lenses
- Various coatings and treatments depending on your needs
Instead of wearing safety glasses over your everyday spectacles, an Rx solution provides one comfortable, integrated pair designed specifically for your vision.
WHY CHOOSE PRESCRIPTION SAFETY EYEWEAR ?
Many workers wear their regular prescription glasses underneath oversized safety goggles or over-glasses. While this may offer temporary protection, it often compromises comfort and visibility.
Prescription safety glasses offer several advantages:
- Clear vision tailored to your prescription.
- Improved comfort with one pair of glasses instead of two.
- A wider field of view compared to wearing safety eyewear over prescription glasses.
- Certified protection that meets workplace safety standards.
- Professional appearance with lightweight, purpose-built frames.
For employees who wear corrective lenses every day, prescription safety eyewear can make a significant difference in both comfort and productivity.
WHICH BOLLÉ SAFETY PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE IN BOTH PLANO AND RX ?
Many of Bollé Safety's bestselling frames are available in both standard and prescription versions, allowing users to keep the same style and level of protection regardless of their vision needs.
These mirrored products share the same design philosophy, offering the same comfort, fit and protection while giving users the option of having prescription lenses when required.
Some of the most popular examples include:
MORE PRESCRIPTION FRAMES
In addition to mirrored versions of existing products, Bollé Safety also offers an extensive range of frames developed specifically for prescription wearers.
This broad selection ensures that workers across different industries can find a frame suited to their working environment, personal style and prescription requirements.
Depending on your region and distributor, the prescription collection may include models such as:
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE BETWEEN PLANO AND RX ?
The choice is simple :
- Choose plano safety glasses if you do not require vision correction and simply need reliable eye protection.
- Choose Rx safety glasses if you wear prescription glasses in your everyday life and want the convenience of having your vision correction built directly into your certified safety eyewear.
If you're unsure which solution is best for you, consult your eye care professional or your Bollé Safety distributor. They can help determine the most suitable prescription solution based on your vision, work environment and safety requirements.
