Lighted Magnifying Glasses Review: no more Squinting

 

Can’t see fine detail without squinting? Are you straining your eyes due to poor lighting? Would you like to be able to read without eye strain? All those problems are solved with these lighted magnifier safety glasses. Welcome to Lighted Magnifying Glasses Review: No More Squinting.

In this article, I will review the top six safety glasses with bifocal magnifiers and LED lights. I’ll cover what features they offer for you so you can choose the one that fits your face, style, and needs the best.

The first pair of safety glasses is the least expensive and each pair after that cost more than the one before it. I will not quote prices, as these change from time to time, and I want my articles to be accurate as possible at all times.

Safety is very important in carving especially where it concerns your eyes, but many people don’t like wearing safety glasses. Their reasons for this are either outdated or misinformed. In another article, we talked about why people haven’t worn safety gear, how today’s glasses and goggles are updated, how safety glasses are used, and why you shouldn’t purchase cheap safety eyewear.

Mayhew lighted 2.0 magnifier safety glasses

Detailed Description:

These safety glasses by Mayhew Steel Products are not your average glasses. They feature a lightweight black half frame with adjustable temples. Their LED lights are not embedded into the temples like most other safety glasses; instead, they sit on the top of the half-frame in the middle of the forehead brace. This enables the lights to focus on the center of your project without having to cross the beams, giving a better concentrated light source.

The LED lights have a swivel top to provide better light control. These safety glasses can also be worn over most prescription glasses, but you can wear them alone too.

They have a clear mono lens that provides a 2.0 magnification for focusing on those small details or for easier reading. This lens provides you with a side shield for that extra protection you sometimes need. They meet ANSI Z87.1 safety standards for polycarbonate lenses.
