The Correct Laser Safety Glasses for your Holmium YAG Laser

Attenutech is committed to providing you with a vast array of certified laser safety glasses. There’s a vast array because there are so many different laser types that it’s always best to have the right pair of laser safety glasses based on the laser’s wavelength. That means if you’re working with a Holmium YAG Laser, you’ll need to get the correct type of protective lenses. Otherwise, the cornea can be heavily damaged if exposed to the laser without protective eyewear.

Factors to consider when choosing your laser safety glasses

Ensure you have the right lens type with the correct optical density (OD) and wavelength range. Optical density is critical in your safety glasses because it helps to determine how much light will get through the lens material. You want to have the correct OD and wavelength for Holmium YAG lasers. If you don’t have that, then the efficacy of the laser safety glasses is nearly nothing.

Ensure you get a frame design and style that works for you. You want something that’s comfortable and fits correctly so they stay on when using the Holmium YAG laser.

From there, you want to always check that they are fully certified and compliant and that these laser safety glasses have industry ratings such as ANSI Z87.1 and ANSI Z136.1 which all the models we discuss below will have. Many, if not all, also have CE certification for the lenses.
