In order for the lenses to have the safety stamp and in order for the glasses to be OSHA approved the lenses have to be made to safety standards. So if someone wants to use for OHSA approved safety eyewear it is true. If someone wants to just use as non safety glasses you do not need to put safety lenses into them.

Thanks for sharing that- I didn’t know that- even if this is an old, old frame from 20 years ago- you would still have to put in safety lenses?
Why is that?

That’s a fine idea, but you had better make the lenses safety lenses if you are using safety frames. It is against the ANSI standards to put anything other than safety lenses in a safety frame.
