Green protective glasses frames, with twelve disposable lenses. These frames are reusable and can be autoclaved to prevent cross-contamination, while the lenses are disposable, made of polycarbonate, and should never be washed using alcohol. These glasses sit securely on the head and are appropriate for patients or practitioners to wear when eye protection is needed. The green colour of these frames are bright, making them hard to lose.
Protective glasses help to prevent liquids or debris getting in the eyes when performing procedures, or preparing chemicals.
This bright green colour is hard to lose, easy to spot, and contrasts with blood, which helps with visualising contaminants. The difference is mainly aesthetic, potentially it may help with colour-coding, colour coordinating with an office aesthetic, or just making a patient feel comfortable with a familiar colour.
