Which protective eyewear is designed to be worn over prescription glasses?

• A. Safety Glasses
• B. Safety Goggles
• C. Spoke Shave
• D. Pneumatic Orbital Sander

Answer: (B)

Protective eyewear designed to be worn over prescription glasses must be able to accommodate existing frames while providing a secure seal around the eyes. Safety goggles fit this need because they have a roomy interior, a soft gasket, and an adjustable strap that goes around the head. This design lets your prescription glasses sit underneath and protects you from dust, splashes, and debris without squeezing the frames or blocking vision. Safety glasses are protective too, but they’re typically worn directly on the face and may not fit securely over existing glasses. The other two options are not eyewear at all.
