The number of American workers over age 55 has doubled in the past two decades, and one in five 65-year-olds are still working. With an aging workforce comes presbyopia, the age-related loss of near vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Workers who typically use readers may remove protective eyewear and slip their readers on when tasks require close, clear sight. That\u2019s noncompliance at best \u2013 and a potential injury at worst. These workers need the work-grade protection of Read, a \u201cgreat-fitting, cost-effective, super-light bifocal eye protection\u201d from Brass Knuckle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re less bulky and more comfortable than over-the-glasses (OTG) protective eyewear, with a durable polycarbonate frame that provides extra side protection. Brass Knuckle Read is great-fitting, cost-effective, super-light protection available in five diopter strengths: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clear lenses are ANSI-rated hard-coated polycarbonate with BK-Anti-FOG, which lasts a full two minutes and is permanently bonded to the lens. It will not wear off or wash off, and retains its anti-scratch, anti-static, and UV protection properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presbyopia is a very normal part of aging and begins when workers are in their 40s. These workers still need to read gauges and valve settings, set machinery controls, read manuals and monitor production screens on the plant floor. They will calibrate, cut and tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brass Knuckle\u2019s protective readers help prevent the hazardous practice of switching back and forth between regular safety glasses and reading glasses on the job. The revised ANSI\/SEA Z87.1-2015 standard recognizes the need for protective readers that offer magnification for the wearer. Brass Knuckle meets this need with Read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
