Safety Glasses

We have teamed with Essilor Laboratories to assist all local manufacturing and associated companies in meeting OSHA requirements for safety glasses. This is a highly specialized area and the correct methods must be applied to get OSHA approval. 

Sylmar Vision Center Safety Eyeglass Program

We work with Essilor, the largest manufacturer of approved safety glasses in the country. The Essilor representative can come to your company and recommend the safety glass program that is correct for your employees. There are no charges or hidden fees for this service.

 HOW IT WORKS:
Usually a simple form is filled out at your facility stating that your employee needs a vision check and safety glasses. A phone call is made to set up an appointment. Your employee’s eyes are examined at a highly reduced fee and a prescription, if needed, for safety glasses is given to our technicians. Employees can then pick from a collection of eyeglass frames that your company management has approved with Essilor. Prescription lenses and frames approved by OSHA will be provided by the Essilor laboratory, sent to our Sylmar office and dispensed to your employees. Employees can often have their OSHA approved safety glasses within one week. The Sylmar Vision Center will also make sure that all prescriptions are correct and glasses are fitted as per OSHA rules. Non-prescription glasses are usually provided at the company level.

Safety glasses demand special approved safety frames and lenses made in a safety glass laboratory.  Regular dress or street glasses are NOT considered to be safety glasses.
