The OPTX 20/20 HydroTac stick-on magnifying reading lenses for WHS professionals are an alternative to prescription safety glasses.  Made with quality optical material, the soft plastic lenses bond via hydrostatic molecular adhesion (no glue) to the inside of eyewear lenses. They are water adherent, ensuring the design of the safety eyewear is not compromised.

The lightweight lenses are re-usable. When safety glasses or sunglasses need to be replaced, users simply peel the lenses off and reposition them on new glasses with a drop of water.

The reading lenses come with six different plus magnification strengths, are available in two sizes: standard (1.2 ″ diameter) and Magnoptic (1.6″ diameter), and can be trimmed for custom application.The lenses are ANSI Z87.1 -2003 (Occupational & Educational Eye & Face Protection Devices) compliant.
