Laser Safety Eyewear

For cost-effective protection during both conventional and laser welding, our helmets feature advanced filter materials that ensure optimal safety and comfort. In the event of exposure to intense light, these filters effectively absorb harmful radiation while maintaining thermal stability. Each helmet comes with a scratch-resistant coating, and select models offer anti-fog properties to enhance visibility.

For cost effective eyewear when using small to medium power levels special plastics with absorbing dyes are used as the filter material. In the case of a laser hit, most of the laser energy is converted into heat and for this reason thermal stability is important. As standard a scratch-proof coating is applied and for certain materials anti-fog, though small scratches do not effect safety.

Glass filters are clearly superior to plastics, making them particularly suitable for use with continuous (cw) lasers of medium to high performance. Especially in the IR area, there are a number of powerful filters with very good color vision. IN the case of a direct hit by high energy laser, the glass may break very quickly, therefore most filters have enhanced splitner protection as standard.

For the highest level of protection, interference filters can be combined with absorbing filters for an almost unlimited number of blocking combinations. Incident light at angles different from 90 deg will be completely reflected according to the required angular range of +/- 30° (according to norms EN207/208). As a large part of the protection effect is based on reflection every scratch on the coated surface must be avoided

A guide to frame styles available for our laser safety eyewear.

As the EU standards EN207 and 208 consider the frame when determining the eyewear safety rating, not all Laservision frames are available with all filters. Ask for a quotation or use our laser safety calculation form to let us know the ratings you need to find out which frames are suitable for your laser.
