More than 30,000 Australians injure their eyes at work each year. It is estimated that almost 90% of those injuries could have been prevented or lessened in severity by using well fitted eye protection appropriate to the task. In work situations that expose employees to potential eye hazards, the Duty of Care requires employers to provide the personal protective equipment needed to protect employees from exposure to those hazards using items such as face shields, goggles and safety glasses.

WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1989 by Managing Director Michel Audry, EYRES Optics has enjoyed continued solid growth and is recognised as being at the forefront of design and innovation.

A privately owned Australian business, EYRES Optics started its life as an Australian importer of European sunglasses and eyewear at a time where there was a distinct lack of task specifi c eyewear for industrial applications to suit the harsh Australian climates. Independent test results on the imported products were dismal and showed the need for something new – and EYRES Optics was born.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

The EYRES range is vast, offering protection in many environments. The range features frame and lens solutions designed specifi cally for occupational eye protection, intense physical activity and leisure situations. A large proportion of the range offers the versatility to be adapted to any situation.

EYRES Optics believe that one’s eyes are arguably the most important sense of all and deserve the very best protection that can be afforded to them.

D’ARRASUS QMSEYRES Optics offers a distinct Quality advantage to its customers in the form of the fully integrated d’Arassus Quality Assurance System. Located in Perth, Western Australia the laboratory addresses the lack of testing and quality assurance in the Australian Safety Sunglass market and provides EYRES Optics customers with the assurance that its products have undergone a stringent process of evaluation and validation that meet Australian Certifi cation Standards.

d’Arassus Quality Management System (QMS) is a unique software suite utility that assists EYRES in coordinating testing and eliminating human error from the necessary calculations and test result evaluations. The QMS is able to swiftly and accurately capture the optical, transmittance and impact velocity properties of tested eyewear by utilising direct connection to a Lensmeter, Spectrophotometer and High Velocity Ballistic test equipment. QMS then determines a pass or a fail automatically without the infl uence of the operator and submits the statistical results in the form of controlled archived documents into a Document Management System DMS.

The system allows for a whole range of testing, with results collated in a computer model allowing the company to expand its Research and Development with measurable results.

EYRES ethos is to not only meet the stringent standards set down by law, but to exceed them with our own set of standards.

“We identified this gap in the marketplace and recognised to be able to rely on the integrity of our products that we would have to create our own quality assurance standard or system to ensure that the stringent Australian standards were met.” – Michel Audry

CERTIFICATIONEYRES Optics intention is to produce a product that is of premium quality and value that refl ects and enhances trust in the brand.

EYRES Optics holds fi ve different SAI Global STANDARDSMARK Licences (the privately owned Australian Standards Compliance Auditor):

AS/NZS 1337.1:2010 under licence SMKH20251 (Eye and Face Protectors for Occupational Applications)

AS/NZS 1067:2003 under Licence SMKH25364 (Sunglasses and Fashion Spectacle)

In 2007 EYRES Optics developed an integrated manufacturing system where all sub-contracting manufacturers are independently audited up to twice a year by SAI Global to ensure they adhere to standards’ criteria. This control measure achieves greater transparency, verifi cation and traceability manufacturing EYRES products.

In the Perth based EYRES Optics laboratory a sample (1%) of each new batch of EYRES eyewear is rigorously tested –then destroyed– for optical quality and design specifi cation.

COMPLIANCE VS CERTIFICATIONCompliant Eye Protectors are tested once to determine that they meet the requirements of a standard. There is no guarantee that future batches or products of the same type also comply to the standard.

Certifi ed products by contrast, undergo initial assessment to compliance, are registered with an independent certifying body (eg SAI Global) and additional batch testing and assessment occurs to ensure the product continues to meet the standard.

Buying a certifi ed product guarantees:

• ongoing compliance guaranteed

• batch testing

• all components are traceable

• added liability cover.

INNOVATION, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)The focus of research and development (R&D) at EYRES Optics is the continuing development of materials, manufacturing processes and product quality for the benefi t of customers and the environment.

The global R&D centre of EYRES Optics is located in Perth, Western Australia. It serves as the interface for all non-prescription and prescription eyewear, and coordinates the ongoing technical knowledge transfer and exchange of experience among the subcontracting manufacturing plants.

An important goal of EYRES’s R&D work is the development of innovative solutions to fulfi l specifi c market and customer requirements.

With a signifi cant portion of the Australian workforce currently wearing some form of Prescription lenses, Standard Safety Eyewear may not be suffi cient to reduce the risk, and with our population ageing, the proportion of prescription wearing workers is increasing.

To accommodate employees needing both Safety Eyewear and Prescription glasses, there are generally two options:

• provide Prescription Safety Eyewear, or

• provide a pair of Non-Prescription Safety glasses to be used over the employees’ corrective eyewear.

Australian Standards AS/NZS 1336 (Recommended Practices for Occupational Eye Protection) specifi es the conditions for using a combination of eye protection with Prescription lenses. If an employee is provided with safety glasses to wear over their prescription glasses, the employee must confi rm that the combination (of safety glasses worn over their normal prescription glasses) is a comfortable fi t and that each item still performs its intended function and optical quality.

PRESCRIPTION SAFETY EYEWEAR

www.eyresoptics.com

www.eyresoptics.com

Prescription Safety Eyewear combines the needed corrective lenses and safety glasses into one, making for a more user-friendly option compared to the alternative – safety glasses worn over prescription glasses.

EYRES Optics offers both elements of Prescription Safety Eyewear – Frames and Lenses. To deliver the highest possible quality to its customers in the prescription range of products and services, EYRES Optics established a strategic business venture in 2009 with I-OPTIXX, its laboratory partner which specialises in prescription eyewear solutions. Together the partnership offers total eyewear solutions.

A wide range of fully certifi ed safety frames can be fi tted by our lens laboratory partner I-OPTIXX with fully certifi ed Lenses (AS/NZS 1337.6 - Prescription Eye Protectors against Low and Medium Impact).

For customer convenience and time effi ciency, EYRES Optics offers assistance to customers by arranging onsite vision screening and optical dispensing service.

All EYRES tactical products are designed, tested and certifi ed to offer the most effi cient solution for every environment. Our mission is to provide the ultimate eyewear for whatever your situation.

HEAVY INDUSTRIES

Heavy industrial applications such as mining, machine operation, and construction require Medium Impact Eye protectors. EYRES Optics Medium Impact models can withstand a high velocity impact of 45 metres per second and are Certifi ed to either AS/NZS 1337.1 or AS/NZS 1337.6.

EYRES Medium Impact models may also be used for sports and recreation.

LIGHT INDUSTRIES

Light industry applications such as landscape gardening, transport and fi shing require low impact eye protectors. EYRES Low Impact models can withstand a high velocity impact of 12 metres per second (20m/s EYRES Policy) and are Compliant to either AS/NZS 1337.1, AS/NZS 1067 or AS/NZS 1337.6.

SPORT

For anyone working in or around water, the choice of suitable glasses is as important as the choice of the right pair of shoes. Optical quality lenses featuring visual periphery, contrasts and colour for prescription and non-prescription sunglasses is essential. They must fi lter out 100% of UV and the tint of the glass must be dark and natural to better protect from glare.

Flexible, impact-resistant, wraparound frames combined with specifi c purpose lenses (SPS) and lens treatments are a winning combination for sport and safety in all extreme work and play conditions.
