3M safety glasses come in various lens colors, each designed to offer different levels of protection and visual clarity for specific environments:

• Clear: Clear is the standard lens for safety glasses providing the highest Visible Light Transmission (VLT). Clear lens safety glasses are the most common safety glass for general purpose indoor applications that require impact protection.
• Amber/Yellow: Amber or yellow safety glasses are commonly used indoors for low light applications enhancing contrast, making your surroundings appear brighter. Yellow safety glasses block blue light that may cause haze and are not recommended for bright light conditions or applications where accurate color recognition is critical. These are ideal for professional drivers in foggy, rainy, or snowy conditions. It’s also a great choice for those in front of a computer all day.
• Light Blue: Blue lenses are very popular where there is excessive yellow or sodium vapor light, enhancing contrast and neutralizing yellow light. These safety glasses are commonly used indoors, but can also be worn outside where additional contrast is needed.
• Gray: Gray safety glasses are known for effectively dimming your surroundings and reducing excessive glare. Gray is the most popular lens color for outdoor applications. These are best used outdoors in bright sun.
