Working with Class 3R laser systems and above can cause serious damage to the human eye. The human eye can be permanently damaged by direct or indirect laser radiation. Injuries on the retina usually occur in the range of 400-1400nm, while defects on the cornea or lens occur in the UV range (190-400nm). It is therefore essential to protect your eyes appropriately with the help of suitable laser safety goggles. The laser safety goggles certified according to the valid standard DIN EN 207 (complete protection) fulfill the legal regulations and protect the eyes safe from dangerous laser radiation. Laser goggles and the filters contained therein are designed to absorb the specific energy of the laser. Therefore, the optimal goggles must be selected explicitly for the required wavelength range, the peak radiation value and the required optical density. Of course, the daylight transmission, the field of view as well as the comfort of the frame also play a decisive role. The socket of the laser safety goggles prevents a side penetration of the laser beam.
