Magid Y50 Safety Glasses — Z87.1+ Integrated Side Shields

The Magid Y50 is an ANSI Z87.1+ construction-grade safety glass with side shields molded into the frame, giving peripheral coverage without a separate clip-on, in clear, gray, amber, and blue-blocking tints plus bifocal reader options — impact eye protection, not a chemical-splash goggle.

Why the Magid Y50 builds the side shields into the frame

Clip-on side shields solve the peripheral-coverage requirement, but they fall off, get lost, and end up back in a drawer. The Y50 removes that failure mode by molding the side shields into the frame structure itself — peripheral coverage that is always there and always compliant, maintaining ANSI Z87.1+ across the full field of view, in a wraparound-adjacent polycarbonate profile. It comes in clear, gray, amber, and blue-blocking tints, bifocal readers, and crew packs. As safety glasses go, this is the integrated-side-shield pick, and the best safety glasses guide and the ANSI Z87.1 guide explain the markings. It keeps side coverage that cannot be misplaced.

What the Magid Y50 listing documents

From the published specs: an ANSI Z87.1+ construction-grade safety glass; integrated side shields molded into the frame; a wraparound-adjacent polycarbonate profile; clear, gray, amber, and blue-blocking tints with 1.5/2.0 diopter bifocals; and single, two-pair, and twelve-pack quantities. These are true integrated side shield glasses and z87 safety glasses credentials with bifocal safety glasses options. The Z87.1+ mark means the lens clears the high-mass and high-velocity impact tests, not just the basic drop-ball test, so it is cleared for regulated industrial and construction eye protection where side coverage is required. Confirm the specific variant and tint on the listing before ordering.

How the Magid Y50 compares to other eye protection

For a frameless wide-view glass, the Crossfire ES4; for a premium anti-fog glass, the Magid Y880; for a Z87+ and ballistic glass, the Pyramex Venture II; for a ratchet-temple wraparound, the Uvex Genesis; and for a sealed splash goggle, the DeWalt DPG82 Concealer. The safety glasses buyer's guide covers the range.

Choosing the right lens and eye protection

Match the coverage, lens tint, and magnification to the task. Browse the eye protection and anti-fog safety glasses collections; for tint choices, the clear vs smoke guide and the amber vs clear guide; and for coatings, the anti-fog vs anti-scratch guide.

Where it fits by job and crew orders

The Y50 suits construction, manufacturing, and general-industry programs that need documented side protection without clip-on shields, plus presbyopic workers needing bifocals — see the construction eyewear guide and the manufacturing eyewear guide. Because the shields are part of the frame, a safety manager does not have to police whether crews kept their clip-ons attached, which removes a common audit failure. Confirm the variant on the listing and retire the glasses when the lens is scratched enough to impair vision, since damaged eyewear no longer protects as rated.
