I've got the comparison pictures shown below using a 1.8W 445nm laser, and to sum it up. BluBlocker sunglasses are nearly as good as the standard red safety glasses. The red glasses outclass the BluBlockers when it comes to upclose focused burning, if your burning a light colored surface with blublockers you'll get some afterimage lasting only seconds but still unhealthy and can be avoided using the reds. When it comes to distance burning BluBlockers work well and don't leave you with afterimage.
Where the blublockers shine is they are easier to take with you and prevent you from looking like a complete dork lol.
So Blublockers will protect you from slight exposure to 1.8W 445nm blue (and probably violet lasers aswell) but the cheap reds are safer.
