How to Choose the Right Laser safety glasses

BANGOR, Pa. - Jan. 21, 2016 - PRLog -- VS Eyewear has a variety of laser safety glasses suitable for every need. In order to choose the right laser safety glasses, you're going to need to know what wavelength, viewing conditions and amount of optical density is required for protection. The information below will help you decide which types you need.

Wavelength

Before choosing laser safety glasses, you need to know what type of wavelength you are exposed to. The most common wavelengths associated with lasers are aiming beam wavelengths and operating wavelengths. Operating beam wavelengths require the most protection. Wavelengths are measured in nanometers or micrometers.

Viewing

If your field of work has no preventative measures for stopping unintentional exposure to laser beams, it is known as direct viewing. If there is protection from scattered beams, it is known as diffuse viewing. Knowing which type your work environment provides will help you choose the proper laser safety glasses.

Optical Density

Optical density is the most important information needed when purchasing laser safety glasses. The level of optical density explains the amount of wavelength protection that the glasses provide. The higher the optical density level, the less amount of laser beam that will pass through.

Now that you know which types of laser safety glasses to choose, next comes what style and comfort is wanted in the glasses. VS Eyewear offers laser safety glasses in a variety of styles and comfort ranges. For more information, or if you need additional help, feel free to contact us (http://www.vseyewear.com).
