H.L. Bouton Slip-On Sideshields for safety glasses, Clear Flexible, One pair, 99705

these are a great addition to glasses with protective lenses. these protect the sides of the eye, where regular glasses do not. this is my second order and we have used these H.L. Bouton slide-on sidesheilds from the seller VisionAid since november 2016. the person who wears them works in a blacksmith shop and their main function is to run the grinder wheel most of the day sharpening tools. he wears a face shield, but we had 2 scares where he got metal in his eye. then we found THESE. no issues since. he takes them off and puts them on every day, and we ordered 3 pair last time. he just wore through his last pair and we had to order more. theoretically, if you left them on your work glasses, they could stay fine forever. but he removes his daily. eventually the little holder piece wears out. its also important to note that he is not gentle on ANYTHING. so that also is a factor. TL:DR great product. 2nd order. after 3rd pair of original order from 11/2016 wore out.

Anyone having to wear glasses knows the agony of them swishing down your nose, and putting pressure on your nostrils, restricting your breathing through your nose....now, add weight to them by placing side shields on them to convert them to safety glasses, and you're in trouble after about 5 hours of use. I bought these to switch my much lighter (weight wise) reading glasses into safety glasses, bc my job requires me to wear safety glasses all day. One thing the reviews of these does not reflect, is, that these side shields are flexible, and fit over just about any type of glasses. I am so happy I bought these bc now I can actually breathe without having to adjust my glasses all day. 5 stars from me and I'd recommend these to anyone having to wear safety glasses.

Fit the bill for those jobs where they require the side shields per OSHA. Be advised though that the shields meet requirements, but I was told by a gal at the eye glass store that even if your prescription glasses may be the plastic lenses, they are not usually the ones that meet OSHA codes, and if something were to happen and you needed to use workman's comp, that without approved prescription safety glasses, you will most likely have your workman's comp denied. These slip on very easily on my wire freamed glasses and just put them in a ziplock sandwich bag for storage when not using. Maybe also keep them out of direct sunshine, not sure how the rubber material may react to long exposure.

I was a bit worried like anybody would if the product isn't in front of you so you can test it out. But after reading everyone's comments and the product review these would work perfectly for me. You can use the picture they give you and compare it to your own glasses. Though like another consumer warned if your sides are think it wont work cause thats how they slip on. I have slightly rectangular 1 inch glasses sort of like they demo glasses in the picture but a bit rectangular but they fit cause of the holes on the side where you would weave it on the stick. This product was design to fit all so i would say its perfect for that. The only way this product could get any better is if they made a lighter version. I have think glasses so every little weight counts to me even if I don't feel the weight I just wonder if someday I will regret it

I have titanium rimless frames on my eyeglasses that are very thin and lightweight. The temple pieces are wire-thin and they do not have hinge. This causes a fitment problem with these side shields in that the shields will not meet the lens correctly. The material from which the shields are constructed is soft and flexible. Almost too soft and pliable to hold the necessary shape. One of the shields was, in fact, somewhat deformed from being mashed in the packaging envelop. However, there are easily modified with a razor knife to create a "custom" fit. This was necessary to make them a workable solution on my particular frames. For the price, these are not too bad of an option but I am unsure if I would purchase them again given my unfamiliarity with the other brands and types available on Amazon.

When one of the stock side shields broke on my prescription safety glasses I needed a quick solution as they are required in my job. These items solved the problem. They are nice quality and bear the Z87 mark of compliance so there's no question about their use in an industrial environment. They are pliable enough that they slipped over the bows on my glasses with little effort and stay in place reliably. The lips which hug the lenses to hold them from sliding backward do contribute to a "tunnel vision" feeling. I don't think that's avoidable in slip-on shields as ANSI requires some mechanism to hold them in place. I think any compliant shields are going to have this issue. All in all a very acceptable and cost effective solution.

YES! I'm not someone who needs safety glasses as an ongoing thing. I have an office job, so I only need safety glasses for the odd power tool project, BUT - I will soon need to visit a plant to help in an 8 week total inventory project. I'd be looking at those plastic glasses that fit over my specs and are unwieldy and hard to see thru. A plant buddy recommended these side shields, and assured me they're OSHA certified, so I spent the 3+ bucks and gambled. They're awesome! They'll work fine for me, and at some point I'll order more for family members. 5 stars. Only hint, there is a right way and a wrong way to put them on. You want to put the smaller side to the top... you'll figure it out.

These are soft, deformable plastic side-shields that are about 2 mm thick. The maximum lens height that can be accommodated is 35 mm. The ones I received are stamped "Vision Aid USA" and "Z87" and may not be identical to slip-on side shields that are HL Bouton branded. My big complaint is the terrible optical properties of the plastic. It distorts everything, so that your peripheral vision is filled with light and color, which is distracting, but you can't actually see anything in your peripheral vision. If you have ever used "drinking goggles" that simulate the experience of being drunk - the experience is somewhat like those. My secondary concern is with the deformability of the plastic. The plastic may be thick enough to absorb an impact from a small particle, but because it is so soft, the side shield does not grip the frame firmly. Any impact may simply push the side shield out of the way, rather than deflecting the incoming particle. I strongly recommend stiff polycarbonate side shields instead, which have excellent optical properties and can be tightly attached to the frame. I ordered some from "safetyglassesusa.com" because I did not find any on Amazon.
