Whether you have dust, wood, concrete, chemicals, or other particles flying around during your normal day on the job, you know what an important role safety glasses play in your day-to-day life. ANSI, the American National Standards Institute, has developed standards for Safety Glasses in the workplace. Many companies require employees to wear ANSI rated eyewear to prevent possible injuries from occurring. The collection of Oakley safety glasses answer the demands of extreme safety needs and surpass expectations of safety glasses in general.

Most any Oakley sport sunglass lenses meet or exceed standard safety ratings. However, not all of the frames pass safety ratings. We are here to clear up the confusion about which frames are specifically ANSI rated. Tyler and Andrew give you a quick look at the top Oakley Safety Glasses in the video below.
Are all Oakley Glasses ANSI Certified?
Although all Oakley authentic lenses meet or exceed Z87.1 standards, not all Oakley frames do. In order for a pair of glasses to pass ANSI certification, the frame and the lenses need to be certified. The majority of Oakley frames are designed for sport purposes and have features that do not make them compliant with ANSI standards.
What Oakley Glasses ARE safety rated?
Oakley saw an opportunity in the industrial realm to perfect and improve safety glasses, and this is why the Oakley ANSI Collection was born. These Oakley Safety glasses are all made of extreme impact resistant material and made for real, dangerous situations that require unbeatable protection. They also meet or exceed the optical standards set forth by ANSI. All of the Oakley Glasses in this guide are ANSI rated.
Oakley Prescription Safety Glasses
At SportRx we can make Oakley safety rated glasses in your prescription. And now we can offer Oakley Authentic safety rated lenses! When we make prescription lenses for a safety rated frame they will be stamped as safety rated lenses. However, we cannot make safety rated lenses for a non-safety rated frame.
