Recommendation on eye protection.

[razeman]

Hi, posting to know what kind of eye protection should I get for this laser diode: geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=BLK-GH22NP20-BULK&cat=DVD  

I've seen some glasses at DealExtreme but as I know nothing about this topic(lasers), I only know that I've always liked the idea to build one. Where should I get a proper eye protection then? What's the best brand or something related with be ok =)


   Good Luck.

You could try this CERTIFIED eye protection:

Is there any other brands, I mean that one is great but the shipping to my country is a bit expensive, so what other options i got

These are not certified. But they are less expensive. These are often called "Lasershades" and are very popular around the community. Again, they are not top quality, but do work.

Are those good enough for my 22X laser with an expected output of >220mW and even 400mW with right cooling? ?

*Bump* Anyone could recommend me other brands or tell me if the glasses I posted before are appropate?

Sorry to bump, but as 24 of December is approaching everything gets harder to get and that, and I'm not going be able to start making the laser with right protection
