Spectacles are custom made to a person's optical prescription. If you use an old presctiption, you may begin suffereing from eye strain as your eyes are trying to see correctly with an old or out of date script. Usually, in Australia, spectical presctiptions are valid for 2 years from the date of the last eye test. If things aren't perfect with the script you have in thos spectacles, get a new eye test and update them.

The curved glass in a pair of spectacles is called a lens. You will find that most spectacles are fitted with plastic lenses rather than glass lenses.

Safety spectacles are glasses/spectacles which are meant to protect the eyes from foreign objects and/or chemical splashes. Safety spectacles can be made up with a prescription to correct the wearers vision or they can be non prescription. Safety spectacles are usually quite large compared to normal everyday spectacles and they fit closely to the wearers head and will have side protection to block any objects or chemicals being splashed into the wearers eyes. People who work in jobs doing wood work or metal work or people working in some types of factories or building sites will be required to wear safety specs to protect their eyes.
