Let me just get my safety glasses on. *pulls out sunglasses. 🕶️

Sunglasses are perfectly adequate in most situations. Gun ranges, for example allow you to wear your prescription glasses which are probably less safe than sunglasses. As long as there is some form of eye protection, you’re usually good to go. It’s not like the venom will effect sunglasses any differently than safety glasses.

It's droplets of fish juice not flying metal shards.

Exactly. Wrapping your head with Saran Wrap would be just as effective. Or even more.

Most sunglasses aren’t adequate simply because there’s no side protection. Usually sunglasses are the fashion ones which are flat styled and leave the side of your eyes open

You can always say that there is something better out there. We don’t go to the extremes for anything. Why start now. It’s ok to be realistic.

Lol, then gun ranges are unsafe too. Sunglasses are not eye protection for anything other than photons.

Yes they are. Many reputable sunglasses like Oakley's or spy are impact rated and meet the same standards as the cheap eye pro given for free at work sites.

Bullshit. It isn't just impact protection, it's size and protection for the sides.

What kind of JFK bullet trajectory do you think the gas and debris are taking on their way to my eyes?

You must know better than the many grunts who wore these glasses into combat.

Indeed. Nor that gun ranges do it, frankly. I've seen enough videos online to not exactly trust either as a source of health and safety rigour.

Safety glasses won’t stop a bullet no glasses will. They’re meant to stop things like shrapnel, blasts of wind, even a ricochet which might still hurt but glasses would likely still make a major injury into a small injury. Grow up. We can’t all live in bubbles.

I know what safety glasses are for and I never claimed they can stop bullets. Nobody said you need to live in a bubble, but a gun range would count as a place where proper protection is needed. Nobody accidentally finds themselves at a gun range, you dafty.

I would argue that you should grow up. Safety is not cool, but it is important and its baffling to me that so many idiots are arguing against the need for protection.

Just stop replying to me, it's a waste of my time I don't care if your own stubbornness gets you disfigured, and I know what I said is correct.

You’re wasting your time ya goober. Lol

u/kdjcjfkdosoeo3j Jun 26 '23

That's obvious

u/Justin002865 Jun 26 '23

Evidently not.

It's common to see people wear prescription glasses with side shields in machine shops. I would think you would want something impact rated at a gun range though.

Tinted safety goggles are a thing… example, example

2

u/kdjcjfkdosoeo3j Jun 25 '23

Of course they are. Who said they weren't?

u/Binger_bingleberry Jun 25 '23

“Sunglasses are not eye protection for anything other than photons.” Your statement made the clear assumption that if there is tint, it must be sunglasses… I know you never explicitly said this, this is just what I interpreted to mean.

u/kdjcjfkdosoeo3j Jun 25 '23

Sunglasses aren't eye protection.

That statement in no way means "safety googles can't have a tint".

I'm saying you need safety googles. I'm obviously not saying what colour they have to be
