let me see. having trouble deciding on a couple pair of goggles. :-/

i am looking at getting some goggles for the blu-ray (~150mw) green (~120mw)  and red (+200mw) and that's it.
dont need them for bigger wattage lasers, etc. if i ever get a lase over 300 mw i will gladly spring for stronger glasses.


my concerns are can i get one pair of glasses that work for blu-ray and green? i have heard that orange works for both spectrums of bluray and green.

and what about IR? i have read that lasers IR filters may not be that good so dont i want my goggles to protect against IR as well?

and what about the OD and VLT? i want enough to block out harmful effects but i want to be able to see out of them too.
so if the od is too high doesnt that block out vision.
from the forums i have read, OD 3-4 is workable, but a higher OD is like wearing a real dark pair of shades?

so a pair of red goggles like these appear to work for bluray and green but do they protect against IR?

and these are supposed to be for green lase, but would they work for bluray, but again what about IR?

and then there is pair of multi-wavelength which looks like it work for the bluray/green and get the IR?
but they dont appear to work for red.

i would welcome suggestions for which goggles would suffice without overkill for my app.

thanks.

red is in the 650 nm range,
bluray are 405 range.
those multiwavelength glasses dont cover red. but most everything else
 
Yea I need goggles too. I didn't want to spend over $60 total to cover everything (blu-ray, IR, red, and green), but it looks like it would cost more like $80-$90+. I was looking at the multi-wave, and I may buy that (I saw it before reading this post), but I would like more input from other members first. I haven't built my blu-ray and red yet, but I plan on building it as soon as I get the diodes themselves (just ordered a day or two ago). What would you laser experts suggest, cause I didn't plan on getting goggles at all before, but now I am getting a little nervous and feel like I should. I don't have too much money though, but if you all think its a good investment and that your eyesight is important, what goggles would you think are the best value?
