Lens configurations covered by the report

The COLTS report includes the following lens families with Ultra Optics UVNV hard coating. Each was tested both with Mialab Jade I anti-reflective coating and without an anti-reflective coating.

“Trans poly” follows the name used in the COLTS report. Contact Mialab to confirm the corresponding order option, prescription range, lens design and current availability.

What the testing establishes

The tested configurations passed the high-impact prescription lens material qualification requirements evaluated by COLTS under ANSI Z87.1-2025, Section 7.1.4.5. The report records three passing lens samples for each of the six configurations.

This is a lens material qualification result. It does not establish that every Mialab lens, every coating combination or every assembled frame-and-lens combination meets all requirements of ANSI Z87.1. The frame, lens mounting, markings and requirements for the intended use must also be confirmed for a complete safety-eyewear order.

Planning a prescription safety-lens order

1. Identify the intended use. Share the patient’s work requirements and any employer-specified safety-eyewear requirements.
2. Confirm the lens and frame combination. Ask our team about the prescription, lens design, frame and the exact material/coating combination before placing the order.
3. Confirm availability and timing. We will help you review the order details, current pricing and expected turnaround.

Does this report cover complete safety glasses?

It covers the specified high-impact prescription lens material qualification tests. Ask Mialab about frame and lens-mounting requirements for the complete eyewear you intend to order.
