Do safety goggles protect against lasers?

Safety goggles can protect against certain lasers, depending on the type of laser and the specific goggles being used. The goggles must be designed to block the specific wavelength of the laser being used, as different lasers emit light at different wavelengths.

It’s important to choose the appropriate goggles with the correct optical density (OD) for the laser you are working with. The OD is a measure of the goggles’ ability to block the laser light and protect your eyes.

However, not all goggles provide protection against all lasers, so it’s important to consult the manufacturer’s specifications to determine the appropriate level of protection for your specific laser. It’s also important to use the goggles correctly and consistently to ensure maximum protection.
