The title says it all.....

I own a 20mW green laser, and never used any safety glasses. Probably not a good thing, I know.
Especially since I have took direct hits with it..... Accidentally

But I just ordered a 200mW red laser from O-like.
I also ordered two pairs of their red laser safety glasses:
Red Laser Safety Goggles [OLRLG] - $14.99 : O-Like, Quality Products, Great Prices

On the page, it says that these glasses suit the 200mW red laser. But I have read some reviews on here about some cheap glasses like this, that don't actually provide much protection at all.

Basically,
Id love to keep my eye sight.....
are these $15 glasses going to protect them?
Or am I going to need to order some better glasses? and from where?

always check the rating, they seem fine and search before posting 99% of the time someone else has asked that exact same thing

I'm not sure about these goggles but someone got the other o-like goggles and they did really badly (http://laserpointerforums.com/f53/o-like-20-bucks-laser-goggles-rated-od5-od6-49005.html) I would assume they are of a similar quality

on a more positive note, people seem to love the dragon laser and CNI goggles (I got the CNI ones during one of glenn's GBs) they both protect against red and blue and will work for your 200mw.

Hope this helps,
toogoofy ;)

These goggles seem to have the same fishy specs as these. If they are the same, and I think they are, then DO NOT BUY THEM!!!.

Hi hxdrummerxc

The wavelength for red lasers can vary from 635nm to 671nm or higher so knowing the exact wavelenghth of your laser is important because not all laser safety glasses for red lasers will cover this range.

Luckily at Dragonlasers we have safety glasses for red lasers that provide very high protection (OD>4) from 620nm to 740nm which would be ideal for you. You can find them on our website here

Laser Glasses - Red laser beam protection 620-740nm :: Laser Safety :: Dragon Lasers

This is a graph of optical density vs wavelength is worth a quick look

Thanks for the replies.

I will probably order a pair of the dragon laser glasses when I have the chance....

My laser shouldn't be here for another week anyways.
