Safety eyewear has become an important and integral part of life. It’s no surprise that over 60 per cent of eye injuries occur either at work or while participating in active sports.

No matter whether you’re at work, home or play, the high number of risks causing eye injury reinforces the need to wear quality safety eyewear. In a dark but not too distant past, eye protection was ugly, clumsy and uncomfortable… and don’t even think about prescription glasses… those bulky over specs that didn’t fit and obstructed vision – yuck!
Luckily, thanks to innovations in technology, now you can purchase sexy eye protection that looks as good on the boat as it does at work – while still providing the best protection available. There’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution to eye protection. The frame and lens will be different from person-to-person, and from activity to activity.
Eyres not only offers an extensive range of safety and sun eyewear for both prescription and non-prescription, but also has one of the largest available ranges of impact resistant lens materials, high performance coatings, and frame technologies.
Eyres’ safety eyewear range allows wearers to customise their frame and lens combo to suit their specific needs, whether they’re wanting to change to prescription or simply need a combination of specific elements. Eyres’ range caters to an assortment of industries and activities with an expansive range of frames. No matter what level of protection you need, we have the product to suit.
Eyres’ lenses are Australian-made and tested to Australian and New Zealand Safety Eye Protection standards, meaning that not only are they designed and made by Australians, but they’re certified to keep your eyes safe during almost any activity. For safety products to meet the stringent safety compliance requirements, Eyres needed to ensure that its frames and lenses are designed and manufactured to the highest standards.
Eyres’ in-house critical impact testing laboratory allows its team to put its safety products through a series of tests which mirror real-life situations. They use High Velocity Impact Testing to push the strength of glasses further than you’ll ever need them to go.
HVI testing propels a steel ball bearing at up to 190m/s or 684 km/hr. Eyres does this from every angle to ensure that all possible impacts are accounted for. For more information, check out our full range online here.
