EYE-PRO

Eye Protection

 

“Eye-Pro” is widely considered the foremost article of airsoft safety equipment. 

 

While some airsoft groups only require wrap-around style safety glasses, others require full-seal goggle-style eye-pro. 

 

One thing remains the same, if you do not wear OSHA/ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection, you do not play!

 

 

 Most “operators” want to look cool in their eye-pro. 

 

 However, you should make sure any eye protections you wear fits comfortably and provides proper coverage. 

In addition, eye-pro should be stored safely to avoid damage and cleaned correctly, both to avoid obscuring issues such as scratches and fogging. 

 

 

 Non OSHA/ANSI Z87.1 approved “normal” eyeglasses or sunglasses are not eye-protection!

 

 Beware cheap imitation products!

If your eye-pro does not have the OSHA/ANSI Z87.1 approved safety rating, do not use them! 

 

 Failure to exercise proper protection of your eyes could cost you dearly!

 

Below are actual pictures of “airsoft eye injuries”! 

 

 

Wear proper eye protection, do not become a statistic!
