Typeclose

Frameless spectacles: These are like spectacles but their lenses "wrap around" to varying degrees. They’re light enough to be worn for hours at a time.

Wrap-around spectacles: These are slightly heavier and chunkier than the frameless models. They have a wide sidebar that gives increased protection from sideways-flying debris. They’re often big enough to wear over prescription spectacles if that’s required.

Safety goggles: These are the full Monty: around the edge of the goggle there’s a seal that fits against the face and the goggles are secured by elastic straps.
