    Safety Glasses

    I work in an industry where there can be flying metal chips. We use glasses with brow guards and side shields for extra protection. Currently use Uvex Astro Rx Model 3003, Uvex Astro OTG 3001 and Bouton Rx #990900052 which have these features. Also use Saturn non-Rx by Bouton, part #72MB-000. Have you seen anything else on the market that would be suitable in this application? The employees are looking for comfort and appealing style.

    If you want to go search out on the web, three companies that have them are Titmus and Rally and on-gaurd... these are available in a bunch of styles and with side shields but get ready for sticker "shock" when you compare the prices to the ones you have now....

    Here is the link to the Titmus website. It looks like the only frames with brow-guards are the same Uvex Astros that you are currently using. Maybe someone knows if Titmus can put brow guards on other frames.

    Here is the link to the On-Guard website. Search the catalogue for models OG 61 and OG 078 (It is a different style then the others you have listed - it is like a normal plastic safety frame but it has a brow guard).

    Here is a link to the Uvex website; they have a larger collection similar to the styles you are already using.

    Latly, here is the AOSafety website:
