Safety glasses 3M VIRTUA0 — transparent anti-scratch protective eyewear, EN certified

3M VIRTUA0 safety glasses are transparent protective eyewear with an anti-scratch coating designed to meet relevant EN safety requirements. Constructed for lightweight all-day wear, these glasses provide basic impact resistance and clear optical performance for general eye protection tasks in workshops, construction sites and laboratory environments. The simple, frameless profile and secure temples help maintain a comfortable fit while allowing a wide field of view and unobstructed vision.

Advantages

The anti-scratch treated lenses preserve visual clarity over extended use and help resist minor abrasions. The lightweight construction reduces pressure on the nose and ears during prolonged wear, while the curved lens design increases coverage without restricting head movement. Compliance with applicable EN standards ensures the glasses deliver a baseline level of mechanical protection for everyday occupational and DIY activities.

Suitable for

• General workshop tasks and machinery observation
• Construction and building site activities with low to moderate debris risk
• Laboratory work and sample handling where splash and particle protection is needed
• Home improvement and DIY projects requiring eye protection
• Inspection, assembly and light manufacturing tasks

Key specifications

• Lens material: clear polycarbonate
• Coating: anti-scratch surface treatment
• Certifications: compliant with applicable EN eye protection requirements
• Frame style: semi-frameless / wraparound design
• Weight: lightweight construction for extended wear
• Field of view: wide, unobstructed frontal and peripheral vision

How to use

Inspect the glasses before each use to ensure lenses are clean and free from cracks or significant scratches that could reduce protection. Place the temples over the ears and adjust position so the lenses fully cover the eyes and sit comfortably on the nose without pinching. Use in combination with other PPE as required by your workplace risk assessment. After use, clean lenses with a soft cloth and compatible lens cleaner to maintain the anti-scratch coating and optical clarity.

Usage recommendations

Store the safety glasses in a protective case or pouch when not in use to prevent lens damage. Replace the eyewear if lenses become deeply scratched, cracked or if the fit is compromised. For tasks with higher impact, chemical or thermal hazards, select protective eyewear that carries the appropriate additional markings and higher protection ratings.
