Safety Specs for the Peninsula

High‑quality eye protection is essential whether you’re on a worksite, in a workshop, or tackling DIY projects at home. Across the Peninsula, more locals are choosing certified safety specs to protect their vision from dust, debris, chemicals and impact hazards. At Peninsula Eyecare and Izzard’s Optometrists, we supply trusted brands including SafeStyle and Bollé Safety, with options available in both non‑prescription and prescription safety glasses to suit every environment.

The importance of proper eye protection
Eye injuries are one of the most common workplace incidents, yet they’re also some of the most preventable. Certified safety eyewear provides:

Impact‑resistant lenses for protection against flying debris

Wrap‑around frames for full coverage

Anti‑fog and anti‑scratch coatings for clear vision

UV protection for outdoor work

Comfortable, lightweight designs for all‑day wear

Whether you’re a tradie in Umina Beach, a workshop hobbyist in Ettalong, or working in healthcare or industry in Woy Woy, the right safety specs help you work confidently and safely.

SafeStyle: Australian‑designed safety specs built for real‑world conditions
SafeStyle has become one of Australia’s most popular safety eyewear brands, especially among tradespeople and outdoor workers. Their frames meet AS/NZS 1337.1 standards and are designed for durability, comfort and style.

SafeStyle safety specs offer:

  • Lightweight, impact‑resistant frames

  • Polarised lens options for outdoor glare reduction

  • Modern styling suitable for work and everyday wear

  • Certified protection for worksites across the Central Coast

For locals working in construction, landscaping, electrical, plumbing or outdoor trades, SafeStyle provides reliable protection without compromising appearance.

Bollé Safety: Advanced protection for demanding environments
Bollé Safety is known worldwide for its high‑performance protective eyewear. Their safety specs are engineered for clarity, comfort and reliability in challenging conditions.

Bollé Safety eyewear includes:

  • Precision optics for clear, distortion‑free vision

Prescription safety specs for clear, accurate vision
If you normally wear spectacles or prescription glasses, switching between everyday eyewear and safety specs can be inconvenient—and unsafe. We offer prescription safety glasses from both SafeStyle and Bollé Safety, combining your exact optical correction with certified protective lenses.

Prescription safety specs are ideal for:

  • Tradespeople who need clear vision on the job
