We are honored to support the following organizations that share our commitment to improving the lives of first responders, military, veterans, hard-working Americans, and their families thus far in 2023.

The 2023 SHOT Event in Las Vegas, Nevada was Wiley X's most successful show to date. Wiley X has been a SHOT Show regular for nearly 30 years!

Our lives are busy and as a result our eyes can suffer the consequences. Daily, we expose them to numerous endeavors and environments that can cause eye fatigue. This results in headaches, eye discomfort from blurred or double vision, increased sensitivity to light, difficulty with concentration, sore, tired, burning or itching eyes. Being unable to see properly, keep the eyes open or focus is dangerous in any situation. Understanding eye fatigue and taking proactive steps can alleviate these concerns. 

Oil workers are surrounded by constant danger. Work-related injuries are 49% higher in oil and gas than all other US industries combined. Every task requires protective eyewear. Regular eyeglasses don’t cut it and a face shield is not enough. Your crew deserves high-quality eyewear with a multitude of protective aspects. Selecting glasses that fit the workers’ face properly and comfortably encourages the use of protective eyewear.

When your job is to protect others, extended shifts are standard. Long shifts mean dealing with constant changes lighting. Conditions from dawn to the brightest light midday to dusk into evening require a variety of options in order to reduce fatigue, block out the sun and protect your eyes. However, keeping track of multiple pairs of glasses while there are more important things on the line can create a distraction, detouring you from your task at hand.

Rescue workers and emergency responders are the first to arrive on the scene following a catastrophe. They often find themselves in unfamiliar surroundings, dangerous conditions, or extreme weather conditions. Time is of the essence for Search and Rescue (SAR) personnel so being equipped with the right gear is essential for a successful mission. Critical to everyone’s safety is the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that SAR teams utilize to minimize risks and aid performance.

Yearly, thousands of people are blinded from work-related eye injuries. Selecting the proper PPE could have prevented these debilitating damages. The decision to purchase lower quality workplace safety eyewear for workers has cost employers more than $300 million per year in worker’s compensation, medical expenses and the loss of production. Identifying the dangers, costs and solutions to on-the-job eye-related accidents is the best method for selecting safety glasses for manufacturing employees.

Your team is risking it all to help others. It's your responsibility to select the gear they need to keep them safe while doing their job. They depend on you to get it right. When considering protective eyewear, there are several options on the market, deciding which ones are the best for your crew can be a difficult task.  

The following guidelines can help you make an informed recommendation or purchase decision. If the eyewear you select isn’t offering complete protection, it may expose your team to unnecessary risks and potential injuries.  

Buy polycarbonate lenses with a proven track record of protection against high-velocity projectiles and blunt force impacts. 

The number one priority and concern within the labor force is the ongoing safety of the crew. No matter the industry you’re working in, danger is lurking around every corner. When it comes to eyesight, protection is of the upmost importance. How do you know when it’s time to level up the industrial protective eyewear of your team? If you answer yes to any of the following questions, it is time to upgrade your gear.

The manufacturing of industrial safety eyewear has evolved immensely over the last decade, many safety glasses have been designed to appear as normal sunglasses, making them easier to wear and more attractive, yet they are designed to provide more eye protection then their previous counterpart. You remember those massive safety googles that constantly fogged up causing obstruction, those are thing of the past.  

Preventing eye injuries on the worksite becomes an easier task when protocol and guidelines are put in place to help avoid incidences. Foresight is everything when it comes to protecting your team. Being aware of the dangers to eye safety, using the proper eye protection, replacing industrial protective eyewear when it gets damaged and minimizing hazards by using work screens and machine guards should
