Plain answers
What is an employer-paid prescription safety glasses program?
An employer-paid prescription safety glasses program gives your employees their own ordering portal for ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses, with or without a prescription, from frames you approve. CHAOSRXOptics builds the portal with your company's name on it, takes each employee's prescription from any eye doctor, makes the glasses, and ships them. You choose how you pay and where the glasses go.
- How is the employer billed?
- The employer chooses how it pays: one monthly invoice to the company, with Net terms available, or payment at checkout as each order is placed.
- Where do the glasses ship?
- Orders ship to the employee's home or to an office, a shop, or a job site.
- Do employees pay at checkout?
- Not for a covered pair. Employee-paid upgrades are available only if your program allows them.
- Which safety standards apply?
- Frames and lenses are ANSI Z87.1 rated. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133(a)(3) requires eye protection that includes an employee's prescription or fits over their glasses. Who pays under OSHA.
- Is the portal available in Spanish?
- Yes. Portals run in English and Spanish. Programa en español.
- Who uses it?
- Tire and automotive technicians, utility crews, manufacturing plants, construction, and other shop and field teams. Our longest-running program has outfitted more than 10,500 technicians for a national tire retailer since 2017.

Approved frames
Example: a site’s approved assortment appears in its employee portal. Frame and lens choices are agreed for the work being performed.

Delivery and reorders

After launch
Need help with an order?
Start with your company ordering portal. For a missing link, an order update, or a fit concern, contact Scott with your company name and order number, if you have one.
Email Scott about an order · Text Scott
Do not send your prescription or medical details in an ordinary text or email. Ask Scott for the appropriate intake route.
Where is my order?
Use the tracking link in your shipment email when one is available. If you cannot find it or need a production update, send Scott your company name and order number. A shipping label alone does not mean the carrier has the package.
The glasses do not fit, or the prescription feels wrong.
Contact Scott before placing another order. If you are not happy with the fit or the prescription, we remake the pair. Normal wear and tear is handled the same way.
How do new hires and reorders work?
Ask your employer for the company ordering link and eligibility rules. Use that portal for approved choices. If you need access or a replacement, Scott can help coordinate with your program administrator.
What is covered, and who pays for extras?
Your employer sets the allowance, approved options, and replacement rules. Any employee-paid upgrades must be agreed for your program. Confirm coverage before ordering; another company's terms do not apply automatically.
What if my frame is unavailable?
Contact Scott to discuss an approved alternative. Frame availability, prescription compatibility, and your employer's approval rules determine the next step.
“A safety eyewear program is only as good as its wear rate. If techs won't keep the frames on through a full shift, the program has failed, whatever it cost.”

Program design informed by our published research (Eyecare Business, 2026).
ANSI Z87.1 rated plano safety eyewear and Rx-capable corporate options from authorized brands, including single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lens designs where supported. We build assortments for shops, field teams, manufacturing, construction, utilities, and other distributed workforces.
No. Employees may get an exam from any eye doctor or optical location they already use, then provide CHAOSRXOptics with a current prescription. If the prescription requires additional fitting measurements, we coordinate those directly with the employee.
There is no separate program fee. We build your frame and lens assortment around your per-employee allowance or program budget. Single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses are available where the frame and prescription support them. We agree on covered options, side protection, shipping, and any employee-paid upgrades in your proposal before ordering opens.
Yes. We can design an approved frame and lens assortment around a fixed annual allowance. We show you exactly what is covered before launch, then build those rules into your employee ordering portal. Employee-paid upgrades can also be included if your program allows them.
Yes. Start with your current allowance, frame and lens requirements, locations, and what you want to improve. We will recommend an assortment and ordering setup for you to review before launch. Employees can use their own eye doctor and provide a current prescription. Scott is your direct program contact.
Yes. A multi-location program can use one approved assortment and agreed employer rules, with orders labeled by employee and shipping grouped or split by location. Before launch, identify the delivery locations, program administrators, fitting approach, and prescription intake path. Employees can use their own eye doctor and provide a current prescription; any additional fitting measurements are coordinated directly.
Yes. To discuss a program, start with approximate headcount, locations, prescription needs, an allowance if you have one, and a program contact. Before ordering opens, agree how employees will identify themselves, who confirms eligibility, and which orders need approval. A planning request does not automatically create employee accounts or approve orders.
The employer sets the approval rules before launch, including covered frames and lenses, allowance limits, replacement timing, and exceptions. Where approval is required, orders can route to the designated administrator for review. Do not assume another employer's annual allowance or replacement policy applies to your program.
An on-site Sit & Fit lets a crew try frames together at a yard or safety meeting. A sample kit lets a location compare physical frames before ordering. Virtual sizing can help remote employees compare supported frames. Discuss site access, crew schedules, frame availability, and any prescription measurements with the program team before choosing the fitting path; an inquiry does not reserve a visit date.
The employer chooses how it pays: one monthly invoice to the company, with Net terms available, or payment at checkout as each order is placed. Employees pay nothing at checkout for a covered pair.
Orders ship to the employee's home or to an office, a shop, or a job site. Multi-location programs can ship each location's orders to that location.
We remake them. If the fit or the prescription is not right, the employee contacts Scott before placing another order and we remake the pair. Normal wear and tear is handled the same way.
