What Are Indoor or Outdoor Safety Glasses?

With the multitude of shadow and lens application options available in the world of goggles, it can often be difficult to determine the right model for your specific application. If you cannot understand the term "inner/outer lens", you will find more information about this type of lens below and a discussion of its specific benefits.

WHAT IS AN INDOOR/OUTDOOR LENS?

The main purpose of lens tinting is to help you adapt to and see better in different lighting conditions. Amber lenses, for example, have a light-enhancing effect that makes them ideal for low-light conditions. 

However, many workers move between different lighting conditions during their daily duties. Within industrial applications such as warehousing, construction, and HVAC, there is a need to ensure signal color recognition in changing light conditions. This is what indoor/outdoor lenses provide.

HOW DO INDOOR/OUTDOOR LENSES WORK?

Indoor/outdoor glasses are usually fitted with silver mirror lenses that transmit more visible light than typical outdoor lenses, but less than amber lenses, making them an ideal middle ground for workers who move between indoor and outdoor conditions. They are lightly tinted in order to let through enough light for effective visibility in areas with artificial lighting, yet can still protect your eyes from intense sunlight and glare when you move outside. 

Indoor/outdoor lenses have a number of benefits, including: 

1. Obviating the need to change eyewear when moving between different lighting conditions

2. Ensuring workers' eyes remain protected throughout the workday

3. Reducing the eyestrain that would usually occur when workers move outside

4. Helping to protect workers' eyes in changing, unusual, or unexpected conditions thanks to their versatility
