DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Wiley X Contour Side Shield provides essential lateral eye protection for workers who depend on their Wiley X WorkSight Contour prescription safety glasses. Available in both removable and permanent configurations, these clear polycarbonate side shields block flying debris, dust, and chemical splashes from reaching your eyes through the gaps between your frames and face.

When installed on Contour frames, these side shields help the eyewear meet ANSI Z87.1 safety standards for workplace eye protection. The permanent version features a locking mechanism that prevents removal, ensuring continuous compliance in environments where side protection isn't optional. Removable shields offer flexibility for workers who want the option to detach them when off-duty, though many employers prefer permanent shields to guarantee that protection stays in place throughout the workday.

Side protection matters because standard eyeglass frames leave gaps on the sides where hazards can enter. Construction sites, manufacturing floors, laboratories, and medical facilities all present lateral risks that front-facing lenses alone can't address. These shields extend coverage to your temples and the orbital area, creating a barrier against impacts and splashes approaching from angles outside your direct line of sight.

The clear design maintains your peripheral vision while adding protection. Each shield is engineered specifically for the Contour frame's geometry, ensuring a secure fit that won't interfere with comfort or temple adjustment. Whether you're working with power tools, handling chemicals, or in any environment where OSHA requires side protection, these replacement shields keep your Wiley X Contour frames compliant and your eyes safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these side shields compatible with my Wiley X Contour frames?

Yes, these side shields are designed specifically for Wiley X WorkSight Contour frames. They attach to the temples and provide the lateral protection needed to meet ANSI Z87.1 safety standards when properly installed. Make sure you select the correct variant (removable or permanent) based on your workplace requirements.

What's the difference between removable and permanent side shields?

Removable side shields can be detached when you're off-duty, offering versatility if you want to wear your frames outside work. Permanent side shields lock into place and cannot be removed without damaging the shield, which guarantees continuous compliance and eliminates the risk of losing them. Many employers prefer permanent shields to ensure workers maintain protection throughout their shift.

Do I need side shields for my safety glasses to be ANSI compliant?

If your safety glasses have flatter frames without wraparound coverage, side shields are required to meet ANSI Z87.1 standards for lateral protection. Side protection is mandatory when there's a hazard from flying particles approaching from angles outside your direct line of sight. The Contour frame's traditional eyeglass shape requires side shields for full workplace compliance.

How do I install these side shields on my Contour frames?

Installation typically involves sliding or clipping the shield onto the temple arm until it locks securely into place. For removable shields, you'll hear or feel a click when properly seated. Permanent shields use a locking mechanism that prevents removal. Ensure the shield aligns properly with the frame and sits flush against your temple area for maximum protection.

Can I use these side shields with prescription lenses in my Contour frames?

Absolutely. These side shields are designed to work with Wiley X WorkSight Contour frames whether you have prescription lenses or not. The shields attach to the temple arms and don't interfere with your prescription lenses. This allows you to maintain both vision correction and lateral eye protection in compliance with workplace safety requirements.

What hazards do side shields protect against?

Side shields protect your eyes from flying debris, wood chips, metal shavings, dust particles, and chemical splashes that approach from the sides. They extend protection beyond the front-facing lenses to cover the gaps between your frames and face, blocking hazards from reaching your eyes through lateral angles. This is essential in construction, manufacturing, laboratory work, and any environment with airborne particles or splash risks.

Choosing the Right Wiley X WorkSight Side Shield

Wiley X engineers side shields specifically for each WorkSight frame model, and compatibility matters. The Contour side shield is precision-designed for the Contour frame's temple geometry and won't fit other models like the Chase, Profile, or Epic. Similarly, shields from other WorkSight frames won't properly attach to your Contour glasses.

Wiley X Contour Side Shield vs. Chase Side Shield: Both are permanent-mount shields at the same $20.50 price point, but they're engineered for different frame shapes. The Chase shield fits the Chase frame's temple design, while the Contour shield matches the Contour's specific attachment points. Using the wrong shield compromises both fit and safety compliance.

Wiley X Contour Side Shield vs. Profile Side Shield: The Profile shield serves the same protective function but is shaped for the Profile frame's geometry. Both provide lateral protection against flying debris and dust, but the attachment mechanisms differ. Always match your shield to your frame model to ensure a secure, compliant fit.

Why Frame-Specific Shields Matter: Generic or mismatched side shields can leave gaps, fail to lock properly, or interfere with temple adjustment. Wiley X's model-specific approach ensures each shield sits flush against the frame, maintains proper alignment, and delivers the lateral coverage required for ANSI Z87.1 compliance. When ordering replacement shields, verify your frame model—check the inside of your temple arms for the model name.

If you're unsure which shield fits your frames, contact us with your frame model number. Using the correct Wiley X side shield ensures your prescription safety glasses maintain full workplace protection.
