APEX Safety Glasses
The Malta Dynamics APEX Safety Glasses deliver ANSI-rated impact protection in a lightweight, modern frame. Curved lenses contour to the shape of the eye and face for a secure, wrap-around fit, while large lenses give a full, clear view of your surroundings. A molded nose bridge and flexible anti-slip temple tips create a universal fit that can be worn over prescription glasses.
APEX lenses are anti-scratch, anti-fog, and 99.9 percent UV resistant on tinted models, and the single top-rim design wipes clean with soap and water. Tested to the ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2020 high-impact standard, they come in Clear, Tinted, and Indoor/Outdoor lenses in a 36-pair contractor pack per lens color.
Who Needs This Product
The APEX Safety Glasses are primary eye protection for any worker exposed to flying particles, dust, or debris. The lightweight contoured frame and universal molded nose bridge suit general construction, manufacturing, shop work, and lab environments where all-day comfort keeps crews wearing their PPE. Each worker wears one pair as part of a complete jobsite program alongside head, hand, and hearing protection, and the 36-pair contractor pack outfits a full crew or safety program at once.

Inspection and Replacement
Inspect each pair before use. Remove eye protection from service for any of the conditions below.
- Lens: scratches, pitting, crazing, or cracks that obscure vision or weaken impact protection.
- Frame: cracks, broken temples, or loss of the contoured wrap-around shape.
- Temple tips: torn or missing anti-slip tips that let the glasses shift.
