Working in healthcare is demanding, and it's crucial that our healthcare professionals have high-quality protective equipment to safeguard themselves while saving lives. At Kim’s Optical, we understand that nurses and doctors in medical settings are particularly at risk of exposure to blood and body fluids. Our approach is to offer personalized medical prescription safety glasses tailored to individual needs, ensuring the highest level of protection while maximizing comfort and visual demands.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Medical Prescription Safety Glasses

Health professionals in medical settings are frequently exposed to the dangers of fluids and chemicals, making it essential to choose the right prescription protective safety glasses. Selecting lightweight and comfortable eyewear is crucial to avoid frequent adjustments or discomfort during long shifts. Glasses with side shields provide an additional layer of protection, safeguarding your eyes from environmental hazards, dust, and other irritants. Most importantly, it’s vital to choose eyewear that meets industry safety standards. Kim's Optical safety glasses adhere to both CSA Z94.3 and ANSI Z87.1 standards, ensuring you stay protected while on the job.

Choosing the Right Lenses For Nurses and Other Health Care Professional

1. Anti Fog Coating:

Fogging lenses can be a real nuisance, making it difficult to focus on tasks. Constantly adjusting or removing medical glasses not only interrupts your work but also exposes your eyes to pathogens, spills, and splatters, this is especially problematic if your hands aren’t properly washed. To avoid these risks, we recommend glasses with anti-fog and sweat protection for enhanced comfort and safety.

2. Blue Light Protection:

Blue light emitted from devices like computers, tablets, and smartphones can be harmful to your eyes, causing symptoms such as headaches and eye strain. To improve comfort and protect your vision, we recommend selecting the appropriate coatings for your glasses to reduce blue light exposure and enhance your work experience..

3. Full Protection:

High-quality protective glasses are essential for working in medical settings. We recommend medical glasses with side shields to protect the sides of your eyes, effectively blocking pathogens, splatters, and spills, ensuring your safety on the job.

4. Prescription Availability:

No one likes wearing safety glasses over corrective frames, it's heavy and uncomfortable. We offer safety glasses customized with your corrective lens prescription, ensuring clear vision while you work.

5. Stylish:

We ensure the frame size is proportionate to your face and suits your personal style, enhancing your appearance and ensuring the lenses perform their function without obstructions or drawbacks.
