Here is what I bought
600nm 750nm Safety Glasses Red Laser Red Orange Laser Ray Eye Protection Goggles | eBay
Wanted to try out what these goggles do, and I was horribly dissapointed.
Wasnt expectiing anything from these anyways :)
I used my 200mW 660nm Laser

Can you post full size pictures instead of only thumbnails? Clicking on those just takes me to some free web proxy advertisement.

I use Photobucket, it's good most of the time.
 
Funny... My bad ebay glasses are blue, not green. The blue seems to block some of 660nm, but it really sucks too. :(

If you can't afford Eagle Pair, these are a good option: 600nm 700nm Safety Glasses Red Laser Protection Goggle | eBay

They were recommended to me by forum member Thejoker301, apparently they block a lot of red laser light. I'll post pictures once they arrive.

Just bought them :)

Nice :beer: But as soon as you can, buy an Eagle Pair.
 
^^^I also have those glasses, it works rather well. I once got zapped with a 300mW 650nm while wearing those, and they protected my eyes, no damage at all :)

Yes, I was busy mounting the laser when it hit me in the eye, I'm very glad that I wore them!

EDIT: 405th post!

I bought OEM Systems and Survival Laser Eagle Pair glasses for my blue/green protection right out of the gate when I got into the hobby. I was so impressed with the price/performance value of the Eagle Pair that I went back and ordered a pair for the orange/red wavelengths from Survival Laser USA. I can vouch those are a great value.
 
My ebay Glasses for 260-532nm block perfectly bluray and green Laser light. :thinking:
But they cost 30€ und not 5$
 
Wow, those goggles make are pretty terrible. Sry Alex.

Anyways for 445/405 I gotta say blublockers are still my fav.
 
Those pictures are exactly why I now only buy glasses from OEM Laser Systems. Yes you'll pay $100 or more but when a thin piece of plastic is all that lies between your eyes and a 3w 445nm laser is cheaping out on glasses really worth it? I do have a pair of Eagle Pair glasses that I used until I got a pair from OEM that covered my reds and IR. They seemed to work fine and I'd recommend them as a good budget brand if you can't afford to go with a company like OEM.
