Recommendations
Alliant Energy and Essilor strongly recommend the use of polycarbonate lenses for the best protection.
Standard plastic and glass lenses are "Basic Impact Rated" protection only and do not meet the "High Impact Rated" requirements of ANSI Z87.1-2010.
Work with your eyecare provider to properly fit the eyewear.
