What changes when your eyewear fits
Eyewear stays put when it is built for the shape of your face. EyeGuard comes in two bridge shapes and three sizes, so the frame sits where it should through a procedure rather than sliding down at the moment you lean in.
Clear lenses under a mask come down to fit, which is why EyeGuard comes in two bridge shapes. When the lens sits off your cheeks, air moves underneath it and warm breath has somewhere to go.
A long shift is where comfort gets decided. At 26g there is not much frame to notice, and the bridge holds the lens off your cheeks rather than resting on them, so no single point takes the pressure through the day.
Designed for work, engineered for your face
A fit built for your face
Two bridge shapes, engineered for different facial profiles. Neither one is the default. If your glasses slide down through the day, or the lenses come to rest on your cheeks when you look down, the low bridge fit is the one to try.
Removable silicone temple grips are there if you want them, and they come out if you prefer a different feel.
Clear lenses under a mask
Fit is what keeps a lens clear. When the frame sits off your cheeks, air moves underneath the lens instead of trapping warm breath against it.
If the lens is touching your cheeks, squeeze the bridge in a little to lift it. A hydrophobic lens coating adds a second layer.
Comfort across a long shift
At 26g there is not much frame to notice. The bridge holds the lens off your cheeks rather than resting on them, so no single point takes the pressure through a shift.
The silicone temple grips come out if you prefer a different feel, and a lanyard is included.

AS/NZS 1337.1:2010 and CE EN 166 with EN 170. Laboratory tested to Australian and European standards.
Choose your bridge
Which nose bridge is right for you?
If your glasses slide down your nose, dig into your cheeks, or shift when you look down, that's not something to live with. It's a bridge problem, and it has a fix.
Standard Bridge
Shaped for higher nose bridges. Sits naturally in place across most facial profiles, no adjustment needed.
- Your glasses generally stay put through the day
- You have a higher nose bridge
- Most safety glasses already fit you well
Extended (Asian) Bridge
Engineered for lower nose bridges and higher cheekbones. It lifts the frame off your cheeks, so it stays where you put it instead of sliding down or settling onto your face.
- Your glasses slide down your nose by midway through the day
- The lens rests on your cheeks instead of your nose
- You have a lower nose bridge or higher cheekbones
Not sure which is yours. You can squeeze the bridge gently at the point of purchase to fine-tune the fit, a one-time adjustment if the lens is still sitting on your cheeks.
Every EyeGuard Safety Glasses is AS/NZS 1337.1:2010 and CE EN 166 / EN 170 certified, whichever bridge you choose.
Choose your size
Which size is right for you?
EyeGuard fits differently depending on your face, not just your nose bridge. Three sizes cover the full range.
Adult
Most adults.
- Not sure which size to pick, start here
- Standard adult safety glasses usually fit you fine
- You don't run unusually narrow or wide
Macro
Larger, wider adult facial profiles.
- Adult size feels tight across your temples
- Adult lenses feel narrow or close to your eyes
- You usually size up in glasses or sunglasses
Micro
Kids and smaller adult facial profiles.
- You're buying for a child
- Adult size feels too wide across your temples
- Adult lenses sit noticeably outside your face
Lens width is measured at the widest point of the lens. Every size comes in both Standard Bridge and Extended (Asian) Bridge, choose your size and your bridge separately, then match the two.

Orthopaedic theatre nurse, in his own words
Simon spent his career as a scrub nurse in orthopaedics. He stopped at our stand recently and told us what he made of the glasses. This is what he said.
Filmed at the Hogies stand. Captions on.

Simon is one account. Below are practitioners who have worn the same glasses through a decade of clinical work.

Common questions
Will they fog under a surgical mask?
Fit is what keeps a lens clear. When the frame sits off your cheeks, air moves underneath the lens rather than trapping warm breath against it. If the lens is touching your cheeks, squeeze the bridge in a little to lift it.
What is the difference between the two bridge shapes?
They are engineered for different facial profiles, and neither one is the default. If your glasses slide down through the day, or the lenses come to rest on your cheeks when you look down, the low bridge fit is the one to try. The fit guide above walks through it.
How do I know what size to order?
Adult sits in the middle of the range, with Micro and Macro either side. The sizing guide above has the measurements. Size and bridge are separate choices, so you pick both.
Do I have to replace the lanyard or the temple grips?
No. The temple grips come out if you prefer them off. A lanyard is included. The slip on glove cord is an alternative for people who prefer that style, not something you need to buy.
How long do they last?
One reviewer has worn hers since 2014, which is her experience rather than a promise we make. EyeGuard carries a six month warranty against faults, with 30-day returns.
Are they prescription compatible?
Yes. There is a prescription insert made for EyeGuard, ordered separately from the glasses.
What if they do not fit right?
30-day returns. If fit is the issue, contact us and we will talk you through the other bridge shape before you send anything back.
When will my order be shipped?
In stock products ship within 1 to 2 business days.
A legacy of optical engineering
Hogies was built to solve a problem, not follow a trend. It started with Martin X Hogan, spectacle maker, and it is carried on today by his son Jason, who designs the eyewear here in Australia. Sixty years on, the same question drives it: does this actually work for the person wearing it.
Choose your setup
Start with the glasses on their own, or step up to a kit. The Essentials Kit adds a hard case and a pouch. The Complete Kit adds a lens cleaner as well. Both kits come in either bridge shape, so pick the one you worked out above.
