AI pick (line): Uvex Genesis

These lightweight, wraparound safety glasses with impact-rated lenses and side coverage are comfortable for full clinic days.

Not for: Wearers of prescription glasses who need eyewear that fits over their frames.

Uvex Ultra-spec 2000 (line)

Roomy over-the-glasses design with side shields, so you can protect your eyes without swapping to prescription safety eyewear.

Not for: Anyone without prescription glasses who wants a slim fit.

Impact rating: Marked ANSI Z87.1, with Z87+ for high impact. Debris from handpieces and scaling can hit the eye at speed.
Side protection: Wraparound lenses or side shields that cover the lateral gap. Spatter and aerosol reach the eye from the side, not just the front.
Curing light filter: Use an orange filter that blocks blue light in the curing range for anyone watching the light cure. Clear lenses do not block the intense blue light that can damage the retina.
Anti-fog and cleanability: Anti-fog coating that withstands repeated wipe-down with surface disinfectant. Fogging under a mask causes people to take eyewear off.
Patient eyewear: Provide impact-rated glasses for patients too, ideally tinted against the operatory light. Patients are exposed to the same spatter and dropped instruments.

Uvex: Broad range of Z87-rated safety glasses, including over-the-glasses styles and an orange tint for blue-light blocking.

Only if they are impact-rated with side protection. Many clinicians add side shields or wear loupes built on safety-rated frames.
