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

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 speci鍖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 speci鍖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 ones eyes are arguably the most
important sense of all and deserve the very best protection that
can be afforded to them.

DARRASUS QMS
EYRES Optics offers a distinct Quality advantage to its customers in the form of
the fully integrated dArassus 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 Certi鍖cation Standards.
dArassus 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 in鍖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

CERTIFICATION
EYRES Optics intention is to produce a product that is of
premium quality and value that re鍖ects and enhances trust
in the brand.
EYRES Optics holds 鍖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, veri鍖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 speci鍖cation.
COMPLIANCE VS
CERTIFICATION
Compliant 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.
Certi鍖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 certi鍖ed product guarantees:
ongoing compliance guaranteed
batch testing
all components are traceable
added liability cover.
INNOVATION, RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)

processes and product quality for the bene鍖t of customers and the environment.

With a signi鍖cant portion of the Australian workforce currently wearing some form of Prescription lenses, Standard Safety
Eyewear may not be suf鍖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) speci鍖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 con鍖rm that the combination (of safety glasses worn over their normal prescription
glasses) is a comfortable 鍖t and that each item still performs its intended function and optical quality.
PRESCRIPTION SAFETY EYEWEAR

9. 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 certi鍖ed safety frames can be 鍖tted by our lens laboratory partner I-OPTIXX with fully certi鍖ed Lenses

and are Certi鍖ed to either AS/NZS 1337.1 or AS/NZS 1337.6.

shoes. Optical quality lenses featuring visual periphery,
contrasts and colour for prescription and non-prescription
sunglasses is essential. They must 鍖lter out 100% of UV
and the tint of the glass must be dark and natural to better
protect from glare.
