Studson, a manufacturer of safety helmets, debuted two new safety eyewear lines: the Guardian and Watchman safety glasses.
These options offer ANSI Z87+ impact certification and design features that address the need for comprehensive eye safety in industrial and construction environments.
“The Guardian and Watchman eyewear do not just meet stringent safety standards, they exceed them while providing the comfort and functionality that encourages consistent use among workers,” says Ryan Barnes, founder and CEO of Studson. “They are engineered to provide a comfortable fit when worn with our SHK-1 safety helmets, combining advanced materials, thoughtful design and rigorous testing that reflects Studson’s broader commitment to innovation in workplace safety.”
Guardian safety glasses
Studson says the Guardian line features a secure fit with a classic look, incorporating an eight-base curve wrap design that provides comprehensive coverage while maintaining a lightweight feel.
Lens options include clear polycarbonate lenses for general indoor use, yellow-green mirrored polycarbonate lenses for high-glare conditions, black polarized polycarbonate lenses for visual comfort in bright conditions, and amber polarized polycarbonate lenses that provide contrast enhancement.
Watchman safety glasses
The Watchman glasses are designed for high-output environments, combining lightweight comfort with full-wrap protection and high-contrast lenses to deliver clarity where it counts most, according to Studson.
The Watchman line is suited for job sites, industrial facilities and demanding contractor use, featuring anti-scratch and anti-fog coating. They feature a durable yet light polycarbonate frame, comfort-grip nosepiece and temples, and an unrestricted field of view that allows workers to maintain situational awareness.
Workplace eye injury stats
According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 20,000 eye injuries occur in U.S. workplaces each year, with the majority being preventable through proper eye protection. The agency found that nearly three out of every five workers who suffered eye injuries were not wearing eye protection, while others were wearing inadequate or improper protection for their specific work environment.
