Globus Group Launches Riley® Rx Prescription Safety Glasses Service

Worker safety specialist Globus Group has extended its high performance range of protective eyewear with the launch of the new Riley® RX prescription eyewear service.

The new service offers a full range of prescription models and styles including single-vision, bifocal and varifocal options all expertly manufactured within the company’s UK-based eye care laboratory.

It also includes a new Riley® Online Ordering (ROO) portal enabling safety managers to stay in control of all orders for workers’ safety prescription glasses.

All models in the range come with VISION EASE® impact and scratch resistant polycarbonate lenses as standard, certified to EN166 Grade F. This makes them 10 times more impact resistant than plastic or glass lenses whilst also offering 100% protection against UV such as sunlight.

The bifocal and varifocal options are created using state-of-the-art Digital Inner Surface Technology, which compared to traditional production methods, results in heightened optical quality, and enhanced vision and comfort for the wearer.

As a result, wearers benefit from great-fitting, comfortable eyewear which not only protects from hazards in accordance with EN166, but enables them to wear prescription safety glasses without having to wear an additional safety goggle over the top.

Backing up the range is the new easy-to-use Riley® Online Ordering (ROO) portal which allows safety managers to:

• Manage all workforce prescription orders from one place, regardless of how many sites they are responsible for
• Authorise colleagues to place orders and add employee data into the system
• Permit employees to order online using valid prescription data
• Check the status of individual orders at a glance, run reports and download to MS Excel
• Receive alerts when re-tests are advisable

“The Riley® RX prescription eyewear service brings a wealth of benefits to safety managers across the UK and Ireland. With an estimated 59% of adults requiring eyewear with a prescription lens, that equates to many thousands of workers needing prescription safety glasses,” said Steve Shale, Globus Group marketing manager.

“Having our UK-based manufacturing and service facility means we are in total control of the prescription eyewear process, which means quality and performance are delivered quickly and efficiently.

“All Riley® RX lenses are expertly manufactured by highly experienced optical technicians in facilities certified to ISO 9000 and with the addition of the new online ordering system, the Riley® RX service is designed to provide a simple, seamless offer that meets the safety and optical needs of workers requiring prescription eyewear,” added Steve.
