Green laser safety googles for 10$!?!?!?

Have you looked at the price of eyes lately?

My insurance company values them at $1,000,000 each, and I have lousy coverage. Bionic eye implants will only give you a grainy blurry black and white image where you can only make out shadows, and they cost hundreds of millions of dollars. I think if $50 now can save you hundreds of millions of dollars down the road, it's not worth cheaping out and not spending the extra $40 for actual certified laser goggles which are guaranteed to do what they claim, and actually protect your eyes from damage. $50 to save yourself a lifetime of blackness, never being able to work again, having difficulty doing simple tasks like walking around outside, is totally worth it if you ask me. If you're willing to risk permanently crippling yourself to save $40 then by all means, go for it.
 





So it's enough protection for a 1 mw green laser :D

Seriously the only way I would buy this would be if I already had a pair and was testing. I have learned from airsofting, spend more
 
I have a feeling it's going to work like gel filters... basically, it's ok for low powered and once it's gotten a direct hit, it'll screw up. I'm not any expert though, so I don't know.

Also, I personally have the OEM Laser Systems Goggles, and I know I've purposely direct hit them before, does that mean that they're messed up in that spot?

Also, here's a customer image, and it looks like it works great/just fine... I'm surprised you can capture the beam like that on camera... I have no idea what power he's using + prob smoke/fog or something:

Under normal diffuse viewing they should never wear out even if they get scratched. They should be thrown away and replaced under direct irradiation because it does begin to break down the dyes. If you see spots on the lenses that are slightly to grossly discolored the dyes may be no good in that spot. Be sure the spots are not like water spots or something like that. In many cases the surface will be pitted due to prolonged exposure to a single area (generally what happens when someone wants to see if they stop a beam and shoots one right though the lenses).

Hmm, Image looks promising but I want to see some more reviews

And laser goggles seem a lot like bike helmets am I correct? For example drop a helmet you SHOULD replace it

A picture is worth a thousand words, and then some!

Well just for comparison these are my impact safety glasses they are great for protecting my eyes from physical objects, broken tooling / chemical splash etc and i always wear them while drilling, grinding and doing general DIY around the house.

Compare my picture with the one from focalprice as posted by Alexizupinhea.

With the right angle and a little smoke they appear to be blocking/reflecting the beam from my 50mw green laser, THEY ARE NOT! , these are simply clear polycarbonate and have better than 98% light transmission they offer no protection from visible laser wavelengths, but from just looking at the picture you might conclude otherwise.

EDIT:- This picture has not been altered other than by resizing, it took maybe 5 minutes to get this shot all i had to do was get the angle right and blow a little smoke so the beam was visible only on one side, the beam was actually passing straight through the glasses and apart from a little reflection due to the angle and a bit more splash than usual the dot on the wall was as bright as ever.

noone recived them? I'm almost sure they are going to make the job for 100mW or even more, I've tried good gels with a DX true 100mW and they could block the beam all the time I wanted at the same point without leting nothing more than a veeeery small dot pass.
 
I would risk my eyes for this.. I got a pair of dragonlasers goggles they were cheap and i try to bring them with me all the time.
