Respirator Last Question

[Pat O'malley]

One last question on respirators. The one I received is a half mask. I wear prescription bifocal safety glasses, when I put on the respirator my glasses ride high and I can only see through the bifocal. Anyone else dealing with this? Any suggestions from anyone? Thanks Pat

I wear safety glasses and a respirator. I had to select the respirator carefully to get one which did not interfere with the glasses. You might should consider other makes. Some respirator manufacturers (3M, for one), make their models in several different sizes, so that you are more likely to be able to find one which fits your face and your glasses.

Here's a link to the 3M 6000 series. Note the three sizes.
