Photodynamic therapies (IPL - intensive pulsed light), especially in the field of dental and dermatological treatment, require adequate eye protection for both the patient and the medical staff. In cosmetics and dermatology, treatment methods with light are becoming increasingly important. The need for regular control of the light output, light energy and the wavelength used is often underestimated. The protection of patients and users from dangerous radiation should be paramount and is regulated accordingly by law.
Excimer Laser 193-351nm, for example, used in ophthalmology treatments with diode lasers (wavelength range between 808nm - 980nm) e.g. used in dental medicine, dermatology and photodynamic therapy (hair removal, tattoo removal)
Nd:YAG Laser 1064nm used in dermatology, dentistry
In the medical field, laser protection has become essential for safe handling of intensive laser sources of various wavelengths, power ratings, sizes and radiation modes. As such, laser safety goggles belong to the indispensable and personal safety equipment. A large selection of different frames and an excellent ergonomic fit are the basis of the safety glasses, which are tailored to the wavelength of your laser. The CE certification guarantees compliance with the relevant standards in accordance with the international and European optical and laser standards. 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.
