I've just started building my first laser im using a 2W 445nm Diode but to be honest i've got know idea about laser goggles so could you tell what I should look for I don't know what OD and all that is.
I'm looking for the cheapest option available that can offer maximum eye proteccion because I do know something, eye exposure to 2W dosen't sound like fun

No problem, welcome to LPF

I know there is A LOT to read about. Goggles are a pretty straight forward subject though.

I use Survival Laser pairs, their the best in my opinion.

Eagle Pair® 190-540nm Standard Laser Safety Goggles

I'd go with Survival Laser too, if you have the money to spend.

Your eyes are more than worth it though.
