MAGID Y50 Safety Glasses — ANSI Z87.1+ with Integrated Side Shields

The MAGID Y50 safety glasses solve two compliance problems in one frame: ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact protection rated for both the US and Canada (CSA Z94.3), and permanent integrated side shields that make the Y50 compliant out of the box — no clip-on accessories to lose. Add six lens options, including built-in bifocal readers, and it covers a wide range of work from a single SKU family.

Why the MAGID Y50 safety glasses are dual-standard with side shields built in

Most compliance failures in eye protection aren't about the lens — they're about missing side protection, because clip-on side shields get lost or left in a drawer. The Y50's shields are molded into the frame, so it satisfies ANSI Z87's side-protection requirement every time it's worn. Certifying to both Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 adds a second convenience: one glass for crews that cross the US–Canada border. Our full Y50 review rates it 4.5/5, and the safety glasses buyer's guide explains where an integrated-shield frame fits.

What the listing documents

From the published specs: ANSI Z87.1+ high-impact rated lenses and CSA Z94.3 certification; permanent, clear integrated side shields; a lightweight black nylon frame with soft gray temple pads; six lens options — Clear, Gray, Amber, Blue Blocking, 1.5 Bifocal, and 2.0 Bifocal; polycarbonate lenses with anti-fog and UV protection; model Y50. As ansi z87 side shield glasses the magid y50 is built for compliance by default, and among integrated side shield safety glasses it earns its place on the dual-standard rating.

Choosing your Y50 lens

The six lenses map to real conditions: Clear for general indoor work from the clear-lens collection, Gray for outdoor glare, Amber for low-light contrast (the amber-vs-clear guide covers when it helps), and Blue Blocking for screen-heavy tasks. Split indoor/outdoor shifts may prefer an indoor/outdoor lens; the clear-vs-smoke and polarized-vs-non-polarized guides settle the outdoor-tint questions. The 1.5 and 2.0 bifocal options add a reading segment for gauges and fine work — see the safety reading glasses collection.

Where the Y50 fits by job and face

Integrated side shields and anti-fog make the Y50 a fit for dusty, humid trades — the construction, manufacturing, and landscaping guides rank frames by task. Fit is protection: smaller-faced wearers should check the small-face guide and women's fit guide. For humidity and mask fog, the anti-fog guide and anti-fog collection compare coatings, and the best safety glasses 2026 roundup places the Y50 in the wider field.

Ownership: lenses, fit, and crew orders

Keep lenses clear the safe way — rinse grit before wiping, use a microfiber or lens-safe wipe, and retire lenses once scratches cross your line of sight. Harsh cleaners strip anti-fog coatings, so match the wipe to the lens. Browse the broader eye protection collection for goggles and face shields where the hazard exceeds what glasses cover, and the over-the-glasses collection if you wear a prescription underneath.
