Safety Glasses

Safety glasses are essential for your safety in the laboratory, in medicine and in other work areas. As a certified medical device dealer, Meddax offers tested safety and over-glasses with side and eyebrow protection from renowned brands such as Mediware and EURONDA. Our high-quality laboratory glasses made of robust materials such as polycarbonate reliably protect your eyes from splashes and particles. With a comfortable fit and maximum safety, our safety glasses are ideal for professional use. Trust Meddax for certified protective products of the highest quality.

Protective glasses shield doctors, patients, and medical assistants from corrosive, infectious, or otherwise harmful substances and chemicals that may come into contact with the eyes during treatment. Unlike regular glasses, medical protective glasses are made of durable plastics. Additionally, they protect the eyes not only from the front but also from the bottom, top, and sides, ensuring that splashes have no chance of reaching the eyes.

Due to their plastic construction, medical protective glasses are very lightweight, making them comfortable to wear for long periods, even over prescription glasses. For procedures involving face masks, where fogging can be an issue, anti-fog models have been developed. These often include side filters to improve air circulation. Additionally, protective glasses with UV filters provide extra protection against UVA rays and reduce the blue light component of visible light.

In our online shop, you will find a wide range of medical protective glasses. Below, we introduce you to the different types and their features.

Disposable Protective Glasses

For situations requiring high hygiene standards, we recommend disposable protective glasses. These are usually individually packaged and are a particularly lightweight variant of medical protective glasses. After use in emergency rooms, operating rooms, or other medical areas, disposable protective glasses can be easily discarded.

Face Shields

Face shields have gained significant popularity, not only since the COVID-19 pandemic. Their extra-large field of vision allows medical personnel to work freely. For those who wear glasses, face shields have the advantage of preventing fogging. Additionally, face shields protect not only the eyes but the entire face, making them especially useful in procedures with high splash exposure, such as dental treatments.

Full-View Goggles

Full-view goggles are reusable models made of scratch-resistant plastic. Many versions come with adjustable temples or a flexible silicone headband. Some models also have an anti-fog coating to prevent condensation. For many medical professionals, full-view goggles offer the highest level of comfort. Additionally, some models feature replaceable lenses, allowing users to swap them for new or tinted lenses as needed.

Can Medical Protective Glasses Be Worn with Prescription Glasses or Contact Lenses?

Wearing medical protective glasses alongside prescription glasses or contact lenses is not a problem. However, depending on the type of glasses, you should consider which protective glasses model is best suited for your specific needs.

DIN Standards for Medical Protective Glasses

Depending on the area of application, protective glasses must comply with different safety standards. The most relevant standards include: EN 166 – Personal Eye Protection and EN 170 – UV Protection. These standards apply to both adult and child protective glasses. The Occupational Safety Association recommends the use of protective glasses in the following medical fields:

• Surgical procedures
• Endoscopy
• Arterial punctures
• Intubation, extubation, and tracheostomy care & replacement
• Dental treatments
• Instrument cleaning
• Pathology-related activities
