Safety glasses for the workshop

I have a small business making garden furniture out of reclaimed bits of metal in my workshop. I'm also shortsighted. But when you are working in the workshop, it's important that you can see exactly what you are doing, which is why I have been searching for prescription safety glasses. Although my normal glasses are good for most tasks, safety glasses can withstand severe forces without shattering and feels just like wearing my normal glasses. This blog has some different models of safety glasses compared for different workshop conditions, as well as some options for getting yourself fitted for prescription safety glasses.

    Understanding Vitreomacular Traction
    Your eye has a layer of vitreous gel between the lens and the retina and it's contained within a membrane called the cortex. The cortex is connected to the retina, which is situated at the back of your eye. Vitreomacular traction is an eye condition that's characterised by the partial detachment of the cortex from the retina, which can put pressure on the retina and cause damage to the back of the eye.

    An Overview Of Pterygium
    Pterygium is a condition that causes a benign growth to develop on the protective layer of mucous membrane situated on top of the white part of your eye. In severe cases, the growth can also cover the cornea, which causes loss of vision. It's not always possible to identify the cause of pterygium, but factors that increase your risk of developing this condition include exposure to environmental irritants and allergens, damage from UV rays and being regularly exposed to windy conditions, which can dry your eyes out.
