Uvex Safety Glasses by Honeywell

Uvex Safety Glasses by Honeywell — Anti-Fog, Sealed, and OTG Styles

Uvex safety glasses are manufactured by Honeywell Safety Products and are available across a range of frame styles — standard wraparound, foam-sealed, over-the-glasses (OTG), and the Skyper with SCT-Orange blue-light-filtering lens. Every model is ANSI Z87.1+ rated. The Uvex lineup is known for its Uvextreme and Dura-Streme anti-fog coatings, which provide durable fogging resistance in industrial environments. The Seismic (foam-sealed) and Tirade (sealed) models provide a tighter face seal than open safety glasses for dusty or chemical-vapor environments that don't require full goggle protection.

Which Uvex Safety Glasses Should You Choose?

Uvex Anti-Fog Coating Systems: Uvextreme vs. Dura-Streme vs. HydroShield

Uvex uses three proprietary anti-fog systems across its safety glasses and goggles lineup. Uvextreme is a permanent anti-fog coating applied to the lens surface — it's Uvex's most durable formulation for safety glasses, designed to withstand cleaning and minor abrasion better than standard AF coatings. Dura-Streme combines an anti-fog layer with a hard-coat for scratch resistance, making it the best choice for environments where both fogging and surface abrasion are concerns. HydroShield is primarily used on Uvex goggles and provides a hydrophobic coating that repels liquid rather than absorbing it. For safety glasses specifically, Uvextreme and Dura-Streme variants provide the most durable day-to-day anti-fog performance. The Genesis and Avatar are both available in Uvextreme AF variants. The Seismic and Tirade sealed glasses add a foam gasket to the anti-fog lens, addressing both fogging and perimeter infiltration simultaneously.

ANSI Z87.1+ and Sealed Safety Glasses: When to Use Each

All Uvex safety glasses in this collection carry ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ certification. The standard Z87.1+ open safety glasses — Genesis, Millennia, Avatar, Protégé, Hypershock — provide impact and UV protection with an open frame. They are appropriate for flying particle hazards (grinding, chipping, sawing) and UV exposure. The Seismic (S0600) and Tirade (S4040) add a foam or rubber gasket around the perimeter of the lens, providing additional protection against dust, wind, and light chemical vapors that could enter around the frame edges. Neither model is a chemical splash goggle — for direct liquid splash hazard, use an indirect-vent goggle from the safety goggles collection. The Skyper (S1933X) uses an SCT-Orange lens that filters short-wave blue light — this is a specialized application for workers operating near lasers, UV sources, or computer displays, in addition to providing standard ANSI Z87.1+ impact protection. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 governs eye protection requirements in general industry; 1926.102 for construction.
