Most goggles for 532nm also block 405nm. Read the specs for hem. My NOVA shields pro block 190-449nm with an OD of +5, and 450-532nm with an OD of +6.joeyjojojjjjjj said:

LRMNmeyer, can you even SEE blu-ray with OD5?!? That's like, .001 mW from 100mW! For most blurays, OD2 would do (75-450mW) or 2.5, which is usually the lowest they go. Don't use red laser enhancements, those are something like OD6!

IDK, I don't own a blu-ray. :-/ I was giving an example, which was probably not the best. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.randomlugia said:

Oh, ok. 
Some safety goggles are made one-way, so that somehow you can see the dot perfectly, even though you can't see it at all shining through the goggles. Not usually, though.

well, yes if you plan on doing anythin near anything remotely shiny, glossy paint and such.
side note here, i got some welding goggles, REALLY DARK green glass in them, and they block most of my blu rays light, so they might be helpful for protecting your eyes, mainly reflections.(good idea?)

Unless you have a LPM, I wouldn't really recommend to try this. 405nm looks really dim to our eyes, so it may look like it's blocking most of the light even though it's not. The dark glass would make your pupils dialate, which would increase the risk of light entering your eye. Also, they obviously aren't FDA certified. OEM Laser Systems sells excellent goggles at good prices, and are FDA approved.

I agree not to use any non-certified laser goggles. You could be seeing 15mW of blu-ray, and you still would not be able to see it well. OEM does sell really good googles. Also, if they are not made for lasers, the laser would bleach it faster, and your eyes would burn faster. Like LRMNmeyer said, your eyes would be used to the dark, so they would take a bigger sudden hit. That combined with the bleaching would not turn out well.

so we concluded that the NOVA shields pro are best?
