NEW WRAPAROUND SPORT-STYLE SAFETY
GLASSES COMBINE STYLISH LOOKS, SAFETY AND BIFOCAL READING
SEGMENTS
On the heels of the very
successful Safety Specs Bifocal Safety Glasses, Wizard Industries
announces the new Sport Specs Bifocal
Safety Glasses, available now
Van Nuys, California:
On the heels
of success of the Shop Specs and Sport Specs, Wizard Industries has
announced the first shipments of the Versa Specs. Targeted at
scientists, engineers, plant, construction, manufacturing and shop
workers, the Versa Specs are ANSI compliant safety glasses with five
different interchangeable lenses including lenses with built-in bifocal
reading segments.
OSHA requires laboratories, factories, industrial plants,
assembly, engineering companies, contractors and other professions
across the U.S. to provide safety glasses for their employees. This
requirement can be rather inconvenient for many employees who need
reading glasses to view plans, tinted lenses for outdoors.
"We know they will help reduce eye injuries and workers
compensation claims," said Billy Carmen, CEO of Wizard Industries,
"because employees will want to wear them. The new Versa Specs simply
make it convenient for employees who use varied types of safety glasses
lenses to comply with workplace safety regulations."
It is estimated that between 20% and 35% of all eye injuries
occur on the job. "It's probably not higher than that because of OSHA
requirements for eye protection," commented Carmen. Wizard's new Versa
Specs Multi-Lens safety glasses will ensure that the millions of lab
workers, contractors, service professionals, mechanics, engineers,
plant and shop workers can have excellent eye protection and improved
close-up or tinted vision needs in one comfortable, stylish piece of
eyewear.
Wizard Versa Specs feature an assortment of polycarbonate
lens with integrated side shields, drastically improving eye coverage
over normal reading glasses. The glasses provide excellent protection
from both the front and side while offering the easy ability to change
between clear, yellow, gray, and bifocals, and a special pair of
prescription insert lenses.
The special interchangeable bifocal lenses are optically
clear when looking straight ahead. When looking down they provide
correction through the integrated 28mm flat top bifocal segment. . They
are available in +1.0, +1.5, +2.0, +2.5, and +3.0 diopter strengths.
The lenses also provide 99.9% UV protection up to 380 nm, and are
scratch resistant. Both length and angle of the ear stems are
adjustable, ensuring a perfect, comfortable fit.
The variety of non-bifocal polycarbonate lenses come in
clear, yellow, gray are designed with integrated side shields. Their
ability to be quickly swapped provide the user with a huge cost savings
since safety glasses are an expendable item and are regularly disposed
of when the lenses get scratched. The ability to simply replace the
lenses in the Versa Specs frames provides a more cost-efficient method
of utilizing safety glasses.
"The millions of safety glasses wearers can breathe a sigh
of relief from the cost savings of the Versa Specs," remarked
Carmen.
The Wizard Versa Specs will begin shipping in December, and
will be available nationwide through dealers and at
http://ShopSpecs.com . An economical MSRP is $19.95 and replacement
packs of six lenses (two sets each of gray, yellow, and clear) starting
at $1.49 with wholesale prices available for quantity buyers and
dealers.
