Laser Safety Glasses Laser safety glasses, also known as laser protective eyewear, are specialized eyewear designed to protect the eyes from exposure to hazardous laser radiation. Laser safety glasses feature optical filters or coatings that selectively block or attenuate specific wavelengths of laser light, preventing them from reaching the eyes and causing injury.

The selection of laser safety glasses depends on factors such as the laser's wavelength, power output, pulse duration, and operating environment. Laser safety glasses are available in various styles, lens colors, and filter types to provide protection against different laser classes and wavelengths, including ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) radiation. Properly fitted and certified laser safety glasses are essential personal protective equipment for laser operators, technicians, and other personnel working with or near lasers to reduce the risk of eye damage, retinal injury, and vision loss.
