How to choose Laser Safety Glasses is critical to make sure you are getting the proper eye protection. The capabilities and technology of lasers in medical and industrial professions continuously advance as new research is published and improvements are made by laser manufacturers. With these advances in laser technology, laser safety equipment must also progress to satisfy higher standards.
At VS Eyewear, we utilize leading laser research and testing labs worldwide along with our network of laser manufacturers, medical and industrial professionals to ensure that our laser safety eyewear meets the requirements of the advancing market. To choose the best laser safety glasses for a given application, one must consider the following specifications of the laser; operating wavelength, power, beam diameter, beam delivery system and work environment. The output and wavelength is usually marked on a plate or label somewhere on the laser. It may also be found in the operator’s manual. The manual may also list the recommended OD of glasses to be used. If you are not sure, you can call us with the make and model number and we can help you determine the correct laser safety glasses.

Our goal at VS Eyewear is to provide customers with laser safety glasses that provide the highest protection against all kinds of laser. That being said, our laser safety glasses start at $30.00, with many options to choose from. Added features such as prescription and lens coatings can bring up the price of your safety glasses. However, these features are provided at the best price in the market.
Our laser safety glasses meet rigorous safety standards, with the majority of the frames being ANSI Z87.1 approved. In addition, we also offer options that meet EN 166 safety standards.
The shipping of laser safety products changes according to its category. Laser safety glasses, for example, usually take between 3 and 5 business days to be shipped. Prescription orders from VS Eyewear take between 7 and 14 business days to be completed and shipped. This is the same for all prescription safety glasses. VS Eyewear is committed to getting your order out quickly and efficiently while doing proper quality control.
All of our Laser safety glasses and standard prescription safety glasses come with a microfiber case and a solid case for their protection.
To choose the right laser safety glasses for you, first you need to know your laser’s wavelength. You also need to determine the needed protection level based on your laser’s output parameters. For that, you can look for the recommended Optical Density (OD). On our laser safety glasses, this information is displayed on the features of each laser filter, as well as on each product’s description. Finally, check for the visible light transmission and choose the frame that best suits you.
To test laser safety glasses a spectrophotometer is required and three steps need to be applied. First, the lens needs to be applied to the spectrophotometer, which will test the amount of light being absorbed against the amount of light being let through at different wavelengths. The amount being absorbed is a measurement known as Optical Density (OD). Second, you need to find out what protection level is needed based on the output of your laser, by looking for the recommended OD of the laser. Finally, compare the OD of your lens to that required. If it is sufficient, it is considered safe.
The best and easiest way to buy laser safety glasses is online. VS Eyewear is dedicated to providing the best laser safety glasses at affordable prices and quick delivery.
