Description
3M Over-the-Glass Safety Eyewear in clear is a simple way to add eye protection when you already wear prescription glasses, with no need to swap to a separate pair. It sits comfortably over your everyday eyeglasses and helps keep dust and small flying particles away from your eyes and your lenses.
About the product
These over-spectacles pair a clear frame with clear lenses, so you keep a natural view of the work in front of you. Built-in side shields add protection from the front and the sides. The lenses are impact resistant and scratch resistant, so they keep performing from one project to the next. 3M states the lenses provide 99.9% UV protection, and the eyewear has been performance tested to Australian Standard AS/NZS 1337.
Where to use it
Indoors: workshop and shed jobs such as woodworking, sanding, drilling and general cutting, or anywhere small particles can fly. 3M rates this model as ideal for indoor use.
Outdoors: the maker also pitches it for lighter tasks such as mowing the lawn. For heavy outdoor or high-impact work, choose eyewear rated for that job.
How to use it
- Put your prescription glasses on first, then slide the safety eyewear over the top.
- Check that the side shields sit snugly and that nothing pushes your own glasses out of position.
- Wear them for the whole task, not just while the tool is running.
- Built-in side shields give front and side coverage.
- Clear frame and clear lenses for good visibility in normal indoor light.
Important notes
These are designed to be worn over prescription eyeglasses. Fit can vary with frame size and shape, so try them on with your own glasses before starting a job. Replace the eyewear if the lenses are cracked, deeply scratched or the frame is damaged. They are not a substitute for a full face shield or goggles where a task calls for one.

Care and storage
Wash the lenses in warm water and let them air dry, or dry with a soft cloth. Avoid rough or abrasive cloths that could scratch the surface. Store them somewhere clean and dry, away from tools and sharp objects, so the lenses stay clear for the next job.
