Thoughts of using these as lab goggles?

They would work great as lab googles. The only issue is the filter is pretty dark, so you would probable have to use them with the filter up like in the picture above.

I use them when cutting metal. They are comfortable and nothing gets in your eyes so if you are worried about something in your eyes these could work

I don't see any reason why they couldn't be used as lab goggles. They're a bit heavier than traditional ones and the flip-down lenses are too dark to see thru: they're intended for welding so anything which isn't REALLY bright - isn't visible. But you could leave the dark lenses flipped up - or take them off.

These would not be my first choice as lab goggles... at least not for any of the labs I've worked in. These are primarily made to filter light. I wouldn't vouch for their ability to protect from splashes or to be reasonably shatterproof.

I don't see why not. However, you would have to wear the filter 'up'. If that is not a problem for you, then I think they would be okay to wear. Also, you must make sure the chemicals you are working with will be compatible with the materials used to make the goggles.

Interesting question....goggle for several answers...great for external and internal use. Book coming out in few months by Dr pop......check it out in a couple of month. Color is. Clear.

Yes, that's what I use them for. I do laps several times a week. Though I may have to modify my review. At this point, the glasses are not suctioning very well and I have to stop often to adjust them.

For reading they would work just fine. Keep in mind it takes a tight head band to keep the eye pieces in place. I spread butterflies using these. I have them on for about an hour at a time. I get a headache in that time from the band.

They are for me. There are roll down rubber cups on the oculars that when folded down make use with glasses better, but not as good as without glasses. My solution has been to use a neck chain with my glasses. I just let them drop and hang around my neck while using the binoculars with my naked eyes.

Yes, I feel these goggles can. The eye cups have good suction and are comfortable too.

I really think so. They are great for "light" as they are made for welding. I was walking down Vegas Blvd. and got a lot of responses. The foam padding needs some 'buffering'. Maybe get some mole skin at the first aid station at your local store. I got the, for 'looks'. They are about the size of a cola can.

I think they would be okay for bird watching if you have not been using a higher quality set of binocs before. For me, the Tasco's are great for that once in a while need, but not for watching over a stretch. The eye strain starts setting in after a minute or so.

Might be okay for a computer screen... I wouldn't use them on eyeglasses again, or a camera lens. The cloth is just not as soft as i expected, and I haven't actually found a use for them yet. Maybe smudges on car windows. For glasses, I ended up buying a more expensive cloth, I think made by ProClears.

The do fit over my reading glasses. Not perfectly cause they are not "goggles", but I can function with them while measuring and cutting.

I think "can" is the wrong question here. Technically, yes. You could use them for organic chemistry lab or even welding. The question is whether you should... The answer to that is probably, no. Seriously though, I do not believe that these are rated for chemical safety. I would recommend a boring old pair of safety glasses. Save these for a trip to Burning Man. Your eyes may thank you.

No,these are a full seal glasses not to be mistaken for goggles. The idea behind goggles is there is space for prescription glasses. However the overall purpose is to fully seal to provide eye protection.

I think they would be excellent for that purpose. They are very compact and light and the optical quality is good.

Yes but the anti-fog aspect is lacking-these are more like ski goggles than the photo image indicates,you'd probably be better off with a decent pair of safety glasses

To be honest, I do not think you could wear glasses and be comfortable. Also just to add I feel they would fog up with the goggles. **update: I tried with sunglasses and it was painful to say the least.

I would probably say yes to the first and no to the second. The seal around the goggles is excellent for keeping dust and debris out of the wearer's eyes. Although I have only used these in a laboratory setting, so I would not have specific experience with using these for landscaping. The pair I have does not have a tinted lens, so they probably aren't great against sunlight unless you purchase a pair with tinted or polarized lenses.

The lenses in these are not as sophisticated as the ones you would get from an optometrist. Consider the price! As a rule, I normally go down rather than up, so in your case I would get -3 (rather than -3.5)
