Prescription eye protection.
With system.
Certified safety glasses with individual prescription strength — cleanly organised from needs assessment through eye test and manufacture to handover at the workplace.
The advantages of corrected safety eyewear
An integrated prescription safety lens combines vision correction, protection and comfort in one product — without the compromises of over-goggles.
One pair, not two
No stacked glasses, no pressure points, no constant readjusting. The correction is built right into the safety lens.
Clear vision, no reflections
Lenses made to the wearer's prescription — no heat chamber, no fogging, no slowed reaction time.
Secure fit & comfort
Frame and lenses are matched to the wearer. The glasses stay in place and are kept on.
Legal certainty for employers
Properly protected employees are not tempted to remove their safety eyewear — reducing employer liability risk.
We stand by the optician's craft.
Prescription eye protection is not a mail-order product. It is craftsmanship — and the local optician is the guarantor of quality, safety and fit.
Prescription safety eyewear only protects when the prescription is taken accurately, the frame is fitted precisely and the wearer is properly advised. That is decided in a conversation with a qualified optician, not in an online form.
That is why every path to UNICOindividual leads through the specialist store. We deliver the system — the optician delivers the care.
Refraction by a professional
Eye testing to optometric standards — no self-measurement, no guesswork.
Fitted to the person
Fit, pupillary distance and seating are checked and adjusted on site.
Long-term care
Service, repairs and regular eye checks stay in local hands.

Industries we equip with prescription eye protection.
Pick your industry — we show the typical hazards that eyes need protection from.
We come directly to your site.
For companies above a certain size we deliver the complete service on-site — from eye examination to fitting. Less travel for your team, less downtime for you, and a consistently high quality across the entire workforce.
Eye tests and fitting near you.
We work with a network of qualified opticians across the DACH region — so every prescription is correctly refracted, individually fitted and properly looked after.
For us the optician is the quality guarantor. They know the people on the ground, test prescriptions professionally, fit every pair individually and remain the contact for service, care and follow-up — year after year.
What buyers and safety officers want to know.
Does the employer have to pay for prescription safety eyewear?
Yes. If safety eyewear is required at the workplace and the employee needs vision correction, prescription safety eyewear counts as personal protective equipment — and must be provided by the employer.
How does the eye test work?
Refraction is performed by our specialist partner — either at the optician's shop or, from 10 employees upward, directly at your site.
How long does delivery take?
Usually two to three weeks from receipt of the prescription. For larger projects we phase the rollout.
How do you care for the eyewear?
Clean with a microfibre cloth and mild cleaner, with an annual check at the specialist partner — protective function and fit are reviewed at the same time.
What warranty applies?
Frames and lenses carry the statutory warranty; in case of material defects we replace quickly.
Can the eyewear be combined with existing PPE?
Yes. We make sure the chosen model is compatible with helmet, hearing and respiratory protection.
