DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Wiley X Worksight Profile is a prescription-ready safety frame that doesn't look like one. Built from durable Triloid nylon with a clean rectangular shape, it's designed for professionals who need ANSI Z87.1-certified protection on the job and a polished look everywhere else. The frame ships with removable side shields that snap in when you need lateral protection and tuck away when you don't—one pair handles the shop floor, the office, and the drive home.

ANSI Z87.1 Certification & Shatterproof Lenses

The Profile meets ANSI Z87.1 high velocity and high mass impact standards with its shatterproof Selenite polycarbonate lenses. When the removable side shields are installed, the frame also satisfies US Federal OSHA 1910.133(b)(1)(1) standards for lateral protection—critical for grinding, machining, and environments with flying debris. The Triloid nylon frame flexes under impact rather than shattering, and the polycarbonate lenses block 100% UVA/UVB rays while delivering distortion-free optical clarity. This is safety eyewear that passes inspection and stays comfortable through long shifts.

Prescription-Ready & Built for All-Day Wear

The Profile accepts single-vision, bifocal, and progressive prescriptions, making it a practical choice for workers who need vision correction and impact protection in one frame. The 54mm lens width and full-rim rectangular design suit medium to large faces, and the lightweight nylon construction keeps fatigue at bay during extended wear. The removable side shields store in the included pouch, so you can configure the frame to match the task—shields on for the workshop, shields off for meetings or casual wear. Available in matte black and crystal light grey, the Profile delivers the versatility the WorkSight series is known for: supreme durability, ANSI-rated performance, and a style that transitions beyond the job site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Wiley X Profile frames prescription-ready?

Yes, the Wiley X Worksight Profile frames are fully prescription-ready and accept single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The frame meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for prescription safety eyewear, and the polycarbonate lenses can be customized with your prescription while maintaining impact protection and optical clarity.

What does ANSI Z87.1 certification mean for these glasses?

ANSI Z87.1 certification means the Wiley X Profile has been tested and approved for high velocity and high mass impact protection. The frames and lenses must withstand the impact of a .25" steel ball traveling at 150 feet per second. This certification ensures the eyewear provides reliable protection against common workplace hazards like flying debris, dust, and impact.

How do the removable side shields work on the Profile?

The Wiley X Profile includes removable side shields that snap securely into the temples and can be easily detached when lateral protection isn't needed. With the shields installed, the frame meets OSHA 1910.133 lateral-protection requirements. Without them, the frame still maintains ANSI Z87.1+ frontal impact rating, allowing you to use the same pair as everyday eyewear off-shift and add the shields back for work.

What is Triloid nylon and why is it used for safety frames?

Triloid nylon is a durable, impact-resistant material used in Wiley X safety frames because it flexes under impact rather than shattering. Nylon frames are strong, lightweight, and highly resistant to breakage, making them ideal for active lifestyles and demanding work environments. Wiley X reports that customers have had Triloid nylon frames run over by vehicles while remaining intact and usable.

What size head do the Wiley X Profile frames fit?

The Wiley X Profile features a 54mm lens width with a rectangular frame shape suited for medium to large head sizes. The full-rim design and adjustable fit make them comfortable for extended wear, and the lightweight Triloid nylon construction helps reduce fatigue during long shifts.

Can I wear the Wiley X Profile outside of work as everyday glasses?

Yes, the Wiley X Profile is designed to transition from work to everyday wear. The clean rectangular silhouette doesn't look like traditional safety eyewear, and the removable side shields allow you to configure the frame for different environments. Many users choose the Profile specifically because it functions as both OSHA-compliant safety eyewear and stylish daily glasses.

Wiley X Worksight Profile vs. Wiley X Worksight Epic

Both the Profile and the Epic are part of Wiley X's WorkSight series, sharing the same $168 price, ANSI Z87.1 certification, Triloid nylon construction, and removable side shield system. The decision comes down to frame shape and fit preference.

The Profile features a flatter, more rectangular silhouette with a 54mm lens width that reads as a clean optical frame from the front. It's designed for professionals who want safety certification without the traditional 'safety glasses' look—ideal for medium to large faces and environments where you'll transition between the shop floor and client meetings. The understated design makes it easy to wear all day, on and off the job.

The Epic offers a slightly larger, more wraparound rectangular design that provides a wider field of view and more pronounced peripheral coverage. It's available in additional color options like matte hickory brown, and some users appreciate the extra lens area for demanding tasks. However, the Epic's larger frame and longer temple arms may feel bulkier on smaller faces, and the design leans more toward a sporty, technical aesthetic.

Choose the Profile if: You want a cleaner, more professional look that doesn't scream 'safety glasses,' you have a medium to large face, and you value versatility for both work and everyday wear.

Choose the Epic if: You prefer a larger frame with more wraparound coverage, you need the widest possible field of view, or you want more color options and don't mind a sportier aesthetic.
