What are the best safety glasses for industrial or shop use?

Industrial strength protection

For industrial and shop use, you need industrial-strength eye protection. Look for safety glasses that feature a 3-mm polycarbonate lens inserted into an ANSI Z87 frame with side shields. Goggles or face shields may be required for some industrial applications. A sunglass or spectacle lens could comply with the ANSI Z80 or Z87 standard and still not have sufficient impact resistance to the forces commonly encountered from airbags, falls, industry, sports, or military activities.
