Those don't block IR which is often present in green lasers. If you plan to burn with a green laser, invest in an IR filter for the laser.

I found out the 3M UV blocking yellow goggles works fine with blue ray. With my 100mw blue ray only less than 1 mw go through. Here's the link:3M Goggles 1
3M Goggles 2

They are good deals. Under 10 bucks good brand good quality.

They are your eyes, but frankly I wouldn't trust any goggles that haven't been tested, or are reputable and certified for use with lasers.

You never know... they might have changed the dye used for coloring or something and the ones you get might do nothing.

Maybe PM one of the vets on here and ask to send them a pair for testing... most would do it for the price of shipping them back to you. I'd offer, but frankly my experience is somewhat limited and I'm afraid I would damage the glasses with my lasers.

I don't know but it do work. With 100mw 405 I can't even got reading after the goggles. with 700mw 445 I got like 10mw after goggles. With 405 and 445 there are no sign of damage on the goggles.

They do work well with 405's and they do provide some amount of protection but IMO it's not enough for the 1W 445nm.

I've tested some yellow goggles I got from Amazon, and the 600mW 445nm laser would start melting them, and still transmit too much light to be safe. Comparing them against the certified YLW goggles they had a slightly lighter yellow color. I would save up for the certified goggles until you know the cheaper ones work (i.e. are user-certified).
