235656 - Miller Shade 5.0 Safety Glasses Black Frame with Foam Guard

Technical Overview of Miller 235656 Safety Glasses

The Miller 235656 Safety Glasses are engineered to provide specialized eye protection for industrial environments requiring Shade 5.0 filtration. These glasses are distinct from standard clear safety eyewear, offering a rich amber smoked lens that is specifically calibrated for light-duty oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and soldering operations where bright light reduction is necessary. The lenses are manufactured from high-grade shatterproof polycarbonate, ensuring robust impact resistance that meets or exceeds ANSI Z87.1 safety standards.

Structurally, the glasses feature a deep black frame designed for orbital eye coverage, minimizing the risk of peripheral debris intrusion. A key technical feature is the integration of soft foam protection along the frame's interior; this barrier effectively seals the gap between the eyewear and the user's face, preventing fine dust particles and perspiration from compromising vision. The lenses are treated with a reflective outer coating that not only deflects ultraviolet (UV) radiation but also enhances visual contrast and reduces glare, critical for maintaining precision during thermal processes.

Durability is enhanced through an anti-scratch coating applied to the lens surface, prolonging the optical clarity of the product under rigorous shop conditions. Ergonomically, the unit is designed to reduce operator fatigue with a lightweight form factor (approximately 2 oz) and rubberized ear pads that ensure a secure, non-slip fit. These glasses represent a synthesis of optical safety compliance and functional industrial design.
