Surprisingly hard to find 555, 573nm goggles

[octal]

I'm soon going to have 488, 520, 555, 573. The short stuff is easy to find goggles for, but 573 is surprisingly hard. I've found a few but they tend to only be on the much more expensive side -- is that just because it's mostly not diode lasers in that range, and people are price insensitive, or is there some medical or industrial use for that specific 570-590 range which drives up the price, or am I just not searching correctly?

Eagle Pair® 190-400nm & 560-640nm Laser Safety Goggles

Eagle Pair brand protective laser safety goggles for combined 190-400nm & 560-640nm wavelengths. These goggles have 30% visible light transmission, protect to a level of OD 4+ (reduce the intensity of 190-400nm and 560-640nm laser light by a factor of 10,000 or more), and are CE certified. They...

555 is right at the edge for these, but they cover 573.

Yeah, I bought (oh, I can't do links)
those: 190-400 560-640
also: 190-540 + 800-2000

I'll probably get Cascade lseg-bg3 for $230 or so although I'm not sure what frame style is best. They are purple and cover 512-680 OD6+ and 518-677 OD7+ and seem like the appropriate thing for yellow/green.

$$ ouch. But of course, what are your eyes worth?

 

[octal]

Yeah, now I don't feel as bad about the laser outsert faceplate for my gas masks being $229 more than the clear/smoke/yellow outserts.

OD6 and OD7 seem like overkill for these wavelengths. What power laser are you thinking of getting? Doubt seriously it approaches even a watt.

 

[octal]

Only 50mW! But I didn't find anything else explicitly rated in those wavelengths. I guess the curve is what matters, not the table of specific values.

Never know when to future proof in case you're insane and buy a 2w 577 like me. I ended up buying the 556 model of these
