Eye Protection Is No Accident
According to NIOSH, approximately 2,000 U.S. workers sustain job-related eye injuries daily — 90% could have been prevented with the right eye protection. We offer specialized eyewear for recreational, industrial, and occupational protection.
The two primary causes of workplace eye injuries:
- Wearing incorrect protective eyewear for the task
- Not wearing any protection
Common Occupations for Eye Injuries
- Auto repair
- Carpentry
- Construction
- Electrical work
- Maintenance
- Manufacturing
- Mining
- Plumbing
- Welding
A Bureau of Labor Statistics survey found nearly three out of five workers were not wearing eye protection at the time of an accident, with many believing safety eyewear wasn't necessary for their work.
Home and recreational hazards include sharp edges, falling objects, chemicals, and noise. Proper eye protection significantly reduces injury risk.

Wear protective eyewear — select appropriate goggles, face shields, helmets, or impact-resistant lenses 4. Maintain your eyewear — replace scratched or broken protection immediately
We can help assess hazards and recommend appropriate protective eyewear.
