Yes I am new to the Laser hobby, was into flashlights and kinda getting into Laser now. And yes I do have a set of safety glass, but thank you your question and concern. I do have a couple of other question if you wouldn't mind. Different Lasers have different wave lengths, do you need a different set for each wave lengths? And on 1w 520 when I'm showing friends and family including little children, outside, pointing at stars,do each need a set of glasses or would they be ok with them lets say three feet away from the laser?
