I search for laboratory safety spectacles or googles for spectacles wearer. Could anyone give me the information about where we could purchase the products?
Thanks and regards,
Siswanto

Hi Syx,
I don't know any seller for prescription goggles, but the place I bought my glasses offered me to mount my prescription glasses to my lab goggles. You may try your chance with yours.
Also, vwr or fisher sells goggles for overwearing spectacles. vwr is
www.vwr.com, i believe fisher is www. fisherscientific.com but not sure.
Good luck,
Bulent

Bulent, thank you for the information. I will try to contact their local distributors. Using general safety glasses is not comfortable for spectacle wearers.

I obtained my lab glasses from an optometrist - they are available in a limited number of styles, and have shields attached to the sidearms. I presume it would be the same outside Australia

I also have safety glasses supplied by our company's optometrist. However, some 10 (or more) years ago, I was using my regular glasses with clip-on side shields. So there may be more than one solution to the problem.
