I find this interesting. In 1987, I worked briefly for the Aboriginal Council in Oz and tried to find eye wear and respirators that would fit a full blood. There wasn't anything that would work then. I wonder if there is now.

I'm confused. Do you lab types have each student buy both safety glasses and chemical splash goggles? And when do they wear each type?

There are few Uvex and Econ splash goggles that have some side protection due to the curved shield and they are Z87 + for impact. We try to get people into these because they will have so many instances when both types of protection are needed.

Call in a representative from any of the big companies. They'll show you lots of style s and shapes, all meetings ANSI recommendations. Goggles and glasses.
