If your safety glasses become scratched up or worn out, you should

• A. replace them
• B. continue using them
• C. polish them
• D. wash with soap and water

Answer: (A)

When safety glasses are scratched or worn, they should be replaced. Scratches distort vision, which can hide hazards and make it harder to judge distances or see flying particles clearly. Damaged lenses can also be weaker and more likely to crack on impact, reducing the eye protection you rely on. Worn frames may not seal properly, letting debris or splashes reach your eyes. Polishing isn’t a reliable fix and can wear away coatings or thin the lens, potentially weakening protection. Continuing to use damaged glasses or washing them won’t restore their protective ability. Replacing them keeps your vision clear and your eyes protected.
