NEW BIFOCAL SAFETY GLASSES HELP SCIENTIFIC, ENGINEERING, MEDICAL AND OTHER TECHNICAL PROFESSIONALS TO SEE CLEARLY AND SAFELY

Wizard Industries expands their line of Bifocal Safety Glasses with the Protecto Specs Bifocal Safety Glasses for scientists, engineers, shop, plant, and factory workers.

Van Nuys, California - On the heels of success of the Shop Specs and Sport Specs, Wizard Industries has announced the first shipments of the Protecto Specs. Targeted at scientists, engineers, plant and shop workers, the Protecto Specs are ANSI compliant safety glasses with built-in bifocal reading segments.

OSHA requires laboratories, factories, industrial plants, assembly and engineering facilities across the U.S. to provide safety glasses for their employees. This requirement can be quite inconvenient for many employees who must use reading glasses. These employees are often forced to wear reading glasses under their safety glasses, or to constantly swap between the two.

"We know they will help reduce eye injuries and workers compensation claims," said Billy Carmen, CEO of Wizard Industries, "because employees will want to wear them. They simply make it convenient for employees who use reading glasses to comply with workplace safety regulations."

It is estimated that between 20% and 35% of all eye injuries occur on the job. "It's probably not higher than that because of OSHA requirements for eye protection," commented Carmen. Wizard's new Protecto Specs bifocal safety glasses will ensure that the millions of lab workers, mechanics, engineers, plant and shop workers can have excellent eye protection and improved close-up vision in one comfortable, stylish piece of eyewear.

Wizard Protecto Specs feature a single polycarbonate lens with integrated side shields, drastically improving eye coverage over normal reading glasses. The glasses provide excellent protection from both the front and side

When looking straight ahead, the Protecto Specs are optically clear. When looking down they provide correction through the integrated 28mm flat top bifocal segment. . They are available in +1.0, +1.5, +2.0, +2.5, and +3.0 diopter strengths. The lenses also provide 99.9% UV protection up to 380 nm, and are scratch resistant. Both length and angle of the ear stems are adjustable, ensuring a perfect, comfortable fit.

"The millions of mechanics, engineers and factory workers who also wear bifocals can breathe a sigh of relief," remarked Carmen.

The Wizard Protecto Specs began shipping in September, and will be available nationwide through dealers and at http://ShopSpecs.com . An economical MSRP is $9.95 with wholesale prices available for quantity buyers and dealers.
