Still, the safety glasses market can be difficult to navigate. There are thousands of options and brands available today, so it can be difficult to establish quality.

Scientists working in mask and safety glasses | Ways to Prevent Spread of COVID-19 in the Workplace
COVID-19 has a transmission rate of 0.89%. That might seem like a tiny number, but it translates into 64 infections for every 7, 000 contacts. The average urban environment exposes you to 25 people per square kilometer, but the number can rise to 8, 000 in dense cities. The length of time passing between contacts has a dramatic impact on transmission rates, so the way you control your work environment can reduce infections more effectively than you might think. PPE has an important role to play in this area. Social distancing isn't always possible, so protective equipment and safety glasses are the core of any workplace COVID strategy.

Female lab worker with safety glasses | What Are Some of the Current Trends in Safety Eyewear?
​The safety goggles industry grows by 4% every year, and much of that evolution is thanks to the impressive innovations of PPE fabricators. A few developments are leading the fray. Anti-fog functionality is attracting most of the attention, but anti-glare trends are just as exciting. Screen time has become an industrial pursuit, so safety glasses must now combine impact protection with anti-glare technology. Fabricators have also been focusing on reducing misuse among workers. Discomfort and safety rarely coexist, so innovators have created lightweight products that can pass ANSI Z87 impact testing. Industrial eye protection has never been this fascinating, and it's the company who benefits the most.
