Goggles over glasses?

[Lazerus]

Researching goggles, OEM's hobby googles seem to be a best buy, perhaps followed by Dragons - but my issue is fit over corrective lenses - glasses. ATM I'm using a BFG 150mw, along with various LED Shoppe greenies, so IR is probably an issue. In other cases of goggles over glasses, such as skiing and impact protection, it's always a weak compromise on comfort & wearability, with some styles being totally unworkable. So I'm looking for goggles that would be usable with regular glasses. Any input is appreciated, and thanks to all for being resources.

Sorry to say that, but at least for what i've seen, the only protective goggles for lasers that permit to wear regular glasses are the professional "big rectangle box with window" style ones (don't know how o call them in other way, sorry ) ..... but they have insane prices, too .....

I called OEM regarding their hobby googles fit over glasses - the fellow I talked to was great. So I ordered them and they got here like right now! They're a pretty good fit, actually, so I'm happy. Only slight neg is the styro packing peanuts.

Wait they offer the hobby style in goggle form??!?!?!?!
And i've been browsing them, does anyone know if there's an OD 2.5+ for blu ray?

Why are the "styro packing peanuts" a negative to
your Laser Safety Goggles...:thinking:

BTW...You need to remove the Packing peanuts before
wearing the Goggles...:crackup:

Hey can you reply? did they charge you extra for the goggle style

Maybe goggle style is a misnomer - these are more like impact protection glasses you see shop workers wearing vs a full seal goggle (ie skiing googles). I shall redouble my efforts to post succinctly.

I'm in Seattle - we recycle everything. Styro peanuts are the only packing method that's not recyclable. It did solve the obscure areas to get those couple of peanuts out from under the lenses though - thanks!

Sounds good. How come so few posts?

I'm just getting to the point where I feel I can post intelligently, after a lot of hours wandering about on this board reading so many interesting things. Plus I recently retired, so now I'm full time fun stuff, of which lasers are a small but significant part thereof.
