Safety Glasses

Safety Glasses in Laramie WY

Protecting your eyes isn’t optional—it’s essential. At Laramie Peak Vision, we fit and dispense safety eyewear that meets rigorous industry standards while keeping comfort and style in mind. Whether you’re on a jobsite, in a lab, behind a lathe, or tackling weekend projects at home, our opticians can help you choose protective glasses that match your work, your prescription, and your budget. Below is a guide to the frame options we carry, the impact-rated lenses available, and the most common occupational uses we support every day in the clinic.

Frame Options

  1. Wraparound shields

Wraparound frames extend protection beyond the front of the eye, using curved side coverage to help block debris approaching from an angle. They’re lightweight, low-profile under hard hats or welding caps, and a great pick for dusty environments or fast-moving particles.

  1. Full-seal (gasketed) frames

For environments with fine particulates, chemical splash, or high wind, a foam or silicone gasket creates a close seal around the orbit. Many models are vented to reduce fogging without compromising protection. These are popular in fabrication shops, labs, and agricultural settings.

  1. Traditional safety frames with side shields

If you prefer a classic look, we stock ANSI-rated frames with detachable or integrated side shields. This style is ideal for administrative staff who periodically enter production areas, or anyone who wants a more “everyday eyewear” appearance with certified protection.

  1. Metal, nylon, and TR-90 materials

We’ll help you pick the right chassis for your work. Spring-hinge metal frames provide durability and a secure fit; flexible nylon or TR-90 frames resist chemicals and hold up to heat and impact. Many models include adjustable nose pads and temple tips to fine-tune comfort for long shifts.

Impact-Rated Lenses

  1. ANSI Z87.1 compliance

We dispense lenses that meet or exceed the ANSI Z87.1 standard for impact resistance. You’ll see this marking on the lenses and frames so supervisors and safety officers can verify compliance at a glance.

  1. Materials that take a hit

Polycarbonate and Trivex are the go-to materials for safety eyewear because they’re inherently impact-resistant and lighter than standard plastic or glass. Trivex also offers excellent optical clarity with minimal distortion, which can reduce eye strain during precision work.

Coatings for real-world conditions

  • Anti-scratch: Hard coats help your lenses stand up to grit, metal dust, and frequent cleaning.
  • Anti-fog: For temperature swings, masks, or full-seal goggles, anti-fog coatings maintain a clear view. Some frames pair coating with built-in ventilation for added performance.
  • UV protection: Polycarbonate and Trivex naturally block UV, but we can add additional treatments or tints for outdoor exposure.
  • Blue-light and task tints: For screen-heavy workflows or high-contrast tasks, selective filters and subtle tints can improve comfort and visibility.
  1. Single-vision, bifocal, or progressive safety lenses

From distance-only to lined bifocals and progressives, we fabricate safety lenses that match your prescription and working distances. We can even customize reading zone placement for workers who frequently look up to instrument panels or down to benchtop layouts.

 

  1. Specialty options
  • Photochromic: Clear indoors, darker outdoors—ideal for technicians moving between interior and exterior stations.
  • Polarized: Cut glare for construction and road crews working on reflective surfaces, snow, or water.
  • High-visibility markings: Laser-etched compliance markings keep inspections simple.

Occupational Uses We Serve

  1. Construction & trades

Carpentry, masonry, electrical, roofing, and HVAC—each trade faces different hazards. We outfit workers with wraparound or side-shielded frames, often paired with anti-fog coatings for sweaty, high-exertion tasks and photochromic lenses for outdoor variability.

  1. Manufacturing & machining

From CNC to manual lathes and mills, metal and plastic chips demand robust impact resistance and close coverage. Many machinists prefer full-seal frames with anti-fog lenses to maintain clarity around cutting fluids and coolants.

  1. Laboratories & healthcare

Chemical splash, bio-aerosols, and quick temperature changes make gasketed frames and anti-fog coatings essential. For clinicians who need sharp near vision, we tailor progressive or occupational bifocal layouts to typical working distances at the bench or hood.

  1. Agriculture & ranch work

Dust, wind, and UV exposure are constant. Lightweight wraparound frames with polarized or photochromic lenses are popular with operators moving between barns, open fields, and equipment cabs.

  1. Oil, gas, and utilities

Workers need durable materials that play well with hard hats, face shields, and hearing protection. We ensure proper PPE integration and can add straps or retentive temples for elevated or confined-space work.

  1. Public safety & first responders

Impact-rated eyewear with excellent peripheral vision is crucial for dynamic scenarios. We offer low-profile frames that fit under helmets and maintain secure, fog-free vision through rapid temperature changes.

Expert fitting

We don’t just sell a frame—we verify coverage, adjust for comfort, and confirm compatibility with your other PPE.

On-site opticians and modern lens designs ensure you see clearly while staying protected.

What Our Clients Say

FAQs

Our opticians check brow/cheek coverage, temple alignment, and compatibility with your hard hat, earmuffs, or respirator.

If your employer or site safety plan requires them, choose an ANSI frame with integrated or detachable side shields to stay compliant.

Rinse off dust, then use lens cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Avoid dry-wiping gritty lenses and store them in a protective case.

We can position near/intermediate zones for your specific tasks (e.g., benchtop work or overhead panels).
