    From what I've seen they are. Even at super anal gas plants , never had or saw anyone questioned aboot eye ware.
    I always used safety glasses so as not to give some safety critter anything to squawk about.

    this is the correct answer. You can buy tinted safety glasses. I buy mine on amazon. I wear the safety ones at work, and my Costa’s at home. Rather trash $38 than $250+

    All I wear are Z87 sunglasses. I like them and you can get them relatively cheap. Oh, and I have to wear them, lol!

    I go with Z87 sunglasses too. Theyre cheap enough to replace every few months when they get scratched up from falling on the floor.

    I dont even spend 250 on a single pair of glasses, and i have had perscription glasses since i was 6.

    And according to ME my sunglasses are absolutely part of my ppe, id sooner do without every single normally classified peice of ppe forever than be without them (and no, not transitions, not clip ons. I just buy a regular set of glasses, then an Rx set of sunglasses yearly, costs roughly 60$ a pair
