I have two 1064nm lasers in our shop, what eyewear do I need? Is there a color that is most recommended? The minimum od the manufacturer recommend was an OD4+ at 1064nm
Always consult your on-site Laser Safety Officer (LSO) for specific guidance. Required optical density (OD) and laser safety personal protective equipment (PPE) are determined based on worst-case scenarios and require professional judgment. All laser safety equipment provided is intended for diffused beam viewing only.We have two different options, the 125 filter and 205 filter. If they need to fit-over prescription glasses we recommended our 10 or 35 frame, for a closer fit to the face our 38 frame is best.
Our 125 filter, see here (most economical)
Our 205 filter, see here
