Specifications on all Professional Grade Laser Protective Eyewear
All laser safety glasses and goggles come with the appropriate markings required for proper laser safety. The diagram below illustrates these markings on the eyewear for the wavelength and the optical density (OD) along with our logo. Our CE marked eyewear has its own unique style with the appropriate specifications and requirements included. For additional information, see How to Read CE Markings.
The markings of all of our eyewear are placed in a way that doesn’t obstruct the view of the user. The illustration below demonstrates the placement of markings on our 35-frame spectacle.
