What does the term ‘Bifocal Safety Glasses’ actually mean?

Bifocal Safety glasses come in a range of different dioptres (strengths), so you can select the dioptre that suits the strength of your eyesight, ranging from 1.00 to 3.00. Following on, this means that you will be able to see clearly at a range of different distances, so you can focus on objects nearby, as well as objects at a distance (approximately within 18 inches from your eyes).

When you buy Bifocal Safety glasses you are not confined to one lens colour, you really are spoilt for choice! You have the option to choose between smoke-tinted, clear lenses, as well as many more colours, all depending on where you decide to buy your safety eyewear from; and what colours they have available.

When you wear Bifocal Safety glasses, you can relax, knowing that your eyes are properly protected from any potential dangers, such as flying debris.
