Peak performance. Unmatched style. Eyewear without limits.

Written by uvex | 3 February 2026

In high-risk environments, safety eyewear isn’t optional — it’s essential. But today’s workforce demands more than just protection. They want eyewear that performs on the job and looks good off it. That’s where the new uvex apex range steps in: a hybrid solution that blends certified protection with sporty, everyday style.

Whether you're on a construction site, behind the wheel, or heading out for a weekend adventure, uvex apex delivers eyewear without limits.

Style meets safety — without compromise.

The uvex apex range is designed for workers who move seamlessly between work and life. With a variety of frame colours and lens options — including clear, tinted, mirrored, and polarised — these safety glasses offer maximum coverage, optimum comfort, and serious style.

From long shifts to late-night DIY, uvex apex adapts to your day. The 8-base curved polycarbonate lens wraps around the face for superior protection and a wide field of vision, while integrated ventilation and anti-fog coatings keep visibility clear in tough conditions.

Certified for Australian worksites.

Safety is non-negotiable. That’s why uvex apex meets AS/NZS 1337.1 standards for medium impact protection and blocks harmful UV radiation up to 385 nm. Whether you're working over water, on concrete, or in remote mining operations, these specs are built to perform.

Key features include:

  • Maximum eye coverage with panoramic lens design
  • Glare reduction via mirrored and polarised lenses
  • Custom comfort with adjustable nose pieces and mouldable side arms
  • Durability through anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings

Built for every industry.

From construction and trades to law enforcement, transport, manufacturing, and mining, uvex apex is engineered to meet the demands of diverse Australian industries. It’s eyewear that works as hard as you do — and looks good doing it.

As James Dibou, Product Manager of Eyewear & Hearing at uvex, puts it:

“Understanding there are safety glasses out there that not only protect your eyes, but make you feel good when wearing them, is our main philosophy for this new range.”
