OVERVIEW

Comfortable Protection for Welders with Prescription Glasses

If you wear prescription glasses, finding comfortable safety eyewear for torch work can be a challenge. The Uvex Astro OTG Safety Glasses (Shade 3.0) are the solution you've been looking for. Designed specifically as an "Over-The-Glass" style, these safety specs fit comfortably over most standard prescription frames, allowing you to see your work clearly without sacrificing protection or risking damage to your expensive daily eyewear. No more squinting or dealing with bulky, ill-fitting goggles that fog up or pinch your nose.

The Shade 3.0 Infra-dura lens is perfect for oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and torch soldering. It provides the necessary filtration to block harmful infrared and UV rays while maintaining excellent visibility of the puddle and flame. Unlike standard dark lenses, the Infra-dura technology ensures you have true color recognition, which is vital for judging heat input and material flow. The lens is also treated with Uvex's Ultra-dura hardcoat, making it one of the toughest scratch-resistant lenses on the market—tough enough to handle the sparks and grit of a metal shop.

Customization is key to long-term comfort. The Uvex Astro OTG features adjustable temples that can be lengthened or shortened to fit your head shape perfectly. Additionally, the lens inclination can be adjusted, allowing you to angle the glasses for optimal coverage and cheek clearance. Whether you are a professional fabricator or a serious hobbyist, these glasses provide the professional-grade protection you need with the comfort you deserve. Keep your eyes safe and your vision sharp with Uvex.
