silmäsuojatyypit

The term silmäsuojatyypit refers to the various types of eye protection used in different protective, medical, and recreational settings. The most common categories include safety goggles, face shields, safety glasses, sunglass lenses, and specialized protective eyewear for specific environments, such as welding screens and laser safety glasses. Each type is designed to offer specific levels of protection for visual acuity, glare reduction, and impact resistance while meeting regulations such as the European EN 166 for safety eyewear or ANSI Z87.1 in the United States.

Safety goggles provide hermetic sealing around the eyes, protecting against splashes from chemicals, dust, and high‑velocity projectiles. They are typically made from polycarbonate or other impact‑resistant polymers and may include anti‑fog coatings. Face shields extend protection beyond the eyes, covering the entire face and sometimes the neck, and are commonly used in welding, painting, or any process generating sparks or hot particles.

Safety glasses offer protection against low‑velocity impact and are lightweight, often used in office environments or light industrial work. Sunglass lenses are tailored to reduce glare and UV exposure for outdoor activities, while specific lenses may target blue‑light mitigation for digital screen use.

Specialized eyewear, such as welding glasses, laser safety glasses, and anodized glasses for surgical or laboratory work, incorporate filters to block hazardous wavelengths. In addition, personal protective equipment (PPE) standards define requirements for lens hardness, scratch resistance, and tint for different hazard classes. The appropriate type of silmäsuojatyypit is usually determined by a risk assessment, considering the nature of the hazards, the duration of exposure, and user comfort.
