What is the difference between top bifocal and bottom bifocal safety glasses?

A bottom bifocal places the magnified zone at the bottom of the lens — ideal for reading at a desk or workbench. A top bifocal places the magnified zone at the top, which is what we recommend for hunters and shooters. When you raise a rifle or shotgun, your eyes naturally look upward through the lens, putting your line of sight directly through the top magnifier. This keeps your eye perfectly aligned with your sights without tilting your head.

Are bifocal safety glasses ANSI Z87.1+ and OSHA compliant?

Yes. All Spits Eyewear bifocal safety glasses are ANSI Z87.1+ certified and OSHA compliant, meeting or exceeding current impact protection standards for workplace and sporting use. They are approved for use on job sites and at the range.

What magnification strengths are available?

Magnification availability varies by model. Most Spits bifocal safety glasses are available in +1.00, +1.50, +2.00, +2.50, and +3.00. Some models like the C2 extend up to +4.00. If you are unsure of your strength, we recommend starting with the magnification you use for reading glasses.

What is the difference between bifocal safety glasses and full magnifying safety glasses?

Bifocal safety glasses have a small magnification segment (top or bottom) while the rest of the lens is standard — good for tasks that mix distance and close-up viewing. Full magnifying safety glasses like the MAGshot have magnification across the entire lens, which is better for sustained close-up work like reading fine print or detailed assembly.

How are bifocal safety glasses different from regular reading glasses?

Regular reading glasses are not impact rated and offer no eye protection. Spits bifocal safety glasses combine ANSI Z87.1+ certified impact protection with built-in magnification — giving you both in one pair without sacrificing safety compliance.

Can I get bifocal safety glasses with interchangeable lenses?

Yes — several models including the C2 and MAGshot are available with interchangeable lens kits. Clear lenses are ideal for indoor or low light, smoke for bright outdoor sun, and yellow for overcast or dawn/dusk conditions.
