K3117-100 - Lincoln Electric 1.0 Diopter Bifocal Safety Glasses

Precision and Protection with Lincoln Electric K3117-100

The Lincoln Electric K3117-100 Bifocal Safety Glasses are engineered to address the dual needs of industrial professionals: rigorous eye protection and visual acuity for detailed tasks. Designed specifically for environments where precision is paramount, these glasses feature an integrated 1.0 diopter magnification zone within a clear safety lens. This configuration allows technicians, inspectors, and fabricators to perform close-up work—such as reading schematics, inspecting weld porosity, or calibrating instruments—without compromising safety or requiring a change of eyewear. The optical clarity of the lenses ensures that visual distortion is minimized, providing a true view of the workpiece.

Compliance with safety standards is non-negotiable in industrial settings. The K3117-100 model meets or exceeds ANSI Z87.1 specifications, certifying its resistance to high-mass and high-velocity impacts. This rating provides peace of mind for safety managers and users alike, ensuring that the eyewear is capable of withstanding the hazards typical of machining, grinding, and welding preparation areas. The full eye coverage design extends protection to the periphery, guarding against debris entering from the sides, which is a critical feature in dynamic workshop environments.

Ergonomics play a vital role in PPE compliance; if safety gear is uncomfortable, it is less likely to be worn. Lincoln Electric has addressed this with the inclusion of slip-resistant temple tips. These tips provide a secure grip behind the ears, preventing the glasses from sliding down the nose during movement or perspiration. This feature is particularly beneficial for professionals who frequently look down at workbenches or position themselves at awkward angles during maintenance and repair operations. By combining a 1.0 diopter reading aid with robust industrial construction, the K3117-100 serves as a versatile tool for maintaining quality control and personal safety simultaneously.
