Palmero Healthcare’s ProVision New Safety Eyewear lineup includes nine styles designed to protect dental professionals and patients alike from spray, splash, and spatter for infection control. They also eliminate blue light exposure and protect wearers from high-impact flying projectiles that can permanently damage the eye. They’re designed for comfort to ensure compliance as well.
With a lineup ranging from full-face shields and goggles to more procedure-specific systems like laser safety and bonding glasses, the New Safety Eyewear meets ANSI Z87.1 eye and face protection standards with UVA and UVB protection. Palmero Healthcare encourages practices to implement eye conservation programs based on the four C’s of safety eyewear: certified, clarity, comfort, and compliance:
- Certified: Safety eyewear should incorporate a wraparound design for full coverage and meet industry standards and guidelines for lens, cornea, and retina protection (ANSI Z87.1, OSHA, and CDC). It also must be manufactured from high impact resistant materials to protect from flying debris and projectiles and encompass a specialty bonding lens to filter out damaging blue light (400 to 500 nm) levels to the retina.
- Clarity: Anti-fog coating, scratch resistant technologies, and superior lens designs provide excellent optics for visual acuity.
- Comfort: Styles should incorporate a broad range of frame, temple, and nose bridge designs. Individualized fit provides all-day security and comfort.
- Compliance: Designs should provide practitioners incentives to use safety eyewear in every procedure, every day.
All of the ProVision lines come in lightweight frames. The ProVision Allure, Air, Element, and Clarity also come in ultra-lightweight designs. The Eyesaver Sleeks fit over prescription eyewear and have adjustable temples for broader facial fit. Designed for comfort, the ProVision EZ-Focals have a wraparound frame contoured with soft tips for added comfort, grip, and a secure fit.
The ProVision Clarity provides clear and uninterrupted vision with enhanced anti-fog technology while fitting small or narrow and medium face shapes. The ProVision Flexiwrap provides full wraparound protection and a secure, comfortable fit with shorter, soft touch temples and a soft node bridge.
The anti-static and anti-fogging features of the ProVision Infinity provide added protection and venting. The eyewear also is enhanced with a pantoscopic tilt feature. Ratcheting temple arms allow for customizable fit and optimal comfort. And, the full 50-mm diameter magnifying lens of the ProVision Econo Loupes provides a fully enhanced clinical field and is a lightweight alternative to traditional loupes while reducing eye strain and increasing visual precision.
