To meet the needs of an aging workforce, Gateway Safety offers two styles of bifocal safety eyewear, StarLite MAG and Scorpion MAG. They are each offered in four diopter strengths: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5. Bifocal safety lenses provide close-focus accommodation for those with presbyopia, a normal part of aging vision that causes a decrease in the ability to focus sharply on nearby objects. That creates a need to use magnifying reading glasses or bifocals. Providing workers with bifocal eye protection prevents the hazardous practice of switching back and forth between their regular safety glasses and reading glasses to read instrumentation, work with small parts, or perform other tasks that could produce eyestrain.
