Do I Need Laser Safety Glasses?

If you work with lasers, it’s important to protect your eyes from laser rays. Laser safety glasses are designed to block specific wavelengths of light, providing protection from laser beams and scattered radiation. But who needs to wear laser safety glasses, and how can you determine whether you need them?

In general, anyone who operates a laser that is capable of causing tissue or eye damage should wear laser safety glasses. However, if you work in an environment where there are lasers present, even if you are not directly involved in laser operations, you may also need to wear laser safety glasses.

If your workplace has a Laser Safety Officer (LSO), this person can advise you on whether you need to wear laser safety glasses. In addition, if you see a sign that says “Protective Eyewear Required Beyond This Point,” you should assume that laser safety glasses are necessary.

It’s important to remember that laser radiation can be invisible, so just because you can’t see a beam doesn’t mean you’re safe. Laser safety glasses are designed to block the specific wavelengths of light that are emitted by lasers and can provide protection even if you can’t see the beam.

At Phillips Safety, we offer laser safety glasses that protect against a wide range of lasers, including those used in medicine and research. We also offer filters that can provide protection against multiple lasers used in the same facility. Our laser safety glasses are CE approved for those who require laser safety in Europe. If you are looking for laser safety glasses and are not in the US, please contact us so we can direct you to eyewear appropriate for you, no matter where you are located.

How to choose laser safety glasses properly

When choosing laser safety glasses, it’s important to select glasses that offer the appropriate level of protection for the lasers you will be exposed to. Different types of lasers emit different wavelengths of light, and different laser safety glasses are designed to block specific wavelengths. At Phillips Safety, we can help you choose the right glasses for your needs based on the specific type of laser you will be working with.

In addition to providing protection from laser radiation, our laser safety glasses are designed to maximize visible light transmission (VLT). Higher VLT means better vision, which is important if you need to be able to see your work clearly while wearing the glasses.

Remember, when it comes to laser safety, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. Laser radiation can cause irreparable damage to your eyes in just a fraction of a second, and the risks are not worth taking. If you’re unsure whether you need laser safety glasses, consult with a Laser Safety Officer or contact us at Phillips Safety for advice. We’re here to help you protect your vision and stay safe while working with lasers. Be safe!

If you still aren’t sure which laser glasses are right for you, it’s a good idea to give us a call at 1-866-575-1307 or talk to us through our chat or e-mail us at service@phillips-safety.com

Lampworking Protective Eyewear for Soft Glass

When it comes to lampworking with soft glass, selecting the right protective eyewear is essential for your safety and the quality of your work. The type of protection you need depends largely on the specific tasks you perform, which may involve using a torch, a furnace, or sometimes both.

Furnace Work Protection

If your work primarily involves using a furnace, it’s crucial to protect yourself from the harmful effects of UV and IR radiation. This type of work includes off-hand glassblowing, glory hole work, and other furnace-related activities. For these purposes, our Light Green glasses are specifically designed to provide the necessary protection. These glasses are ideal because they effectively filter out UV and IR radiation, ensuring that your eyes are shielded from these potentially damaging wavelengths.

Torchwork Protection

On the other hand, if your lampworking involves using a torch, you’ll need protection from both sodium flare and UV radiation. The intense light and heat generated during torchwork can produce sodium flare, which is a bright yellow-orange glare that can be harmful to your eyes over time. For this type of work, our Phillips 202 lenses are the perfect solution. These lenses are specially designed to protect against sodium flare and UV radiation, allowing you to work comfortably and safely.

Protection for Both Furnace and Torch Work

In situations where your work requires both furnace and torch use, we offer a versatile solution with our BoroView lenses (BoroView 3.0 and BoroView 5.0). These lenses provide comprehensive protection from UV, IR, and sodium flare. However, they are quite dark, which can be less convenient in certain working conditions. Therefore, a more practical approach might be to enhance your primary eyewear with clip-ons, allowing you to adapt to different tasks without compromising on protection.

Augmenting Torchwork Glasses for Furnace Work

If your primary focus is on torchwork, you might consider using the Phillips 202 glasses. To make them suitable for furnace work, you can augment these glasses with our Green Welding clip ons. This clip-on can be worn over the Phillips 202 glasses when you are working with a furnace and then easily removed when you switch back to torchwork. This flexibility ensures that you always have the right level of protection for the task at hand.

Augmenting Furnace Work Glasses for Torchwork

Conversely, if your work predominantly involves furnace or glory hole activities, the Light Green glasses are more appropriate. These glasses can be paired with the Sodium Flare Poly clip ons, which can be added for torchwork and then removed when returning to furnace tasks. This combination allows you to seamlessly transition between different types of work while maintaining optimal eye protection.

Conclusion

No matter what type of soft glass lampworking you do, we have the right protective eyewear to meet your needs. We understand that choosing the correct eyewear can be confusing, especially with the variety of options available. If you have any questions or need further clarification about the best options for your specific work, please don’t hesitate to contact us or leave a comment on this post. Our goal is to ensure that you have the correct protection, and we are here to help you make an informed decision with confidence. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we want you to shop with confidence knowing that you have the best possible protection for your lampworking activities.

If you still aren’t sure which lampworking glasses are right for you, it’s a good idea to give us a call at 1-866-575-1307 or talk to us through our chat or e-mail us at service@phillips-safety.com

Size and Coverage: Assess the size of the area that needs protection. Laser barriers are available in various sizes and formats, including panels, curtains, windows, and enclosures. Ensure the chosen barrier adequately covers the intended workspace, blocking any potential laser radiation.

Viewing Conditions: If visibility into the laser workspace is required, opt for laser barriers with appropriate optical properties. Select barriers that maintain optical clarity while providing the necessary protection against laser radiation.

Compliance and Certification: Choose laser barriers that comply with relevant safety standards, such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z136 series. Look for barriers that have been tested and certified by reputable organizations to ensure their effectiveness and reliability.

When Do You Need Laser Safety Glasses?

Laser safety glasses are designed to block specific wavelengths of light, providing protection from laser beams and scattered radiation. But who needs to wear laser safety glasses, and how can you determine whether you need them?

In general, laser safety glasses are essential whenever there is a possibility of direct, reflected, or scattered laser radiation reaching your eyes. Even if there’s a remote chance of your eyes being exposed to a scattered reflection of the beam, it’s crucial to have laser safety glasses on. 

UNDERSTANDING THE THREE TYPES OF LASER RADIATION

Let’s take a moment to understand the three types of laser radiation:

1. DIRECT LASER RADIATION

Direct laser radiation refers to direct contact with a beam emitted directly from a laser. Accidentally encountering a direct beam can be harmful to your eyes. 

2. REFLECTED OR INDIRECT LASER RADIATION

Reflected or indirect laser radiation, on the other hand, arises from a beam that has been reflected. Although the strength of the reflected beam is usually lower than that of the direct beam, it can still cause severe and potentially life-changing damage to your eyes. 

3. SCATTERED LASER RADIATION

Scattered laser radiation is similar to reflected radiation, except it originates from a diffuse surface rather than a reflected one. Consider shining a flashlight at the ceiling in a dark room—the light scattered back from the ceiling illuminates the space. The ceiling scatters the light, which is essentially another form of reflection. 


Remarkably, some lasers can cause permanent eye damage or blindness even with scattered radiation. Just imagine the impact if that beam were to hit you directly!

LASER SAFETY GLASSES: A SMALL INVESTMENT FOR LONG-TERM EYE HEALTH

To ensure your safety, it is crucial to wear laser safety glasses whenever there is a chance of exposure to any type of laser radiation. Laser glasses should be worn consistently in the vicinity of a laser connected to a power source, even if it is turned off. Accidents can happen, and a few nanoseconds of exposure to certain lasers can lead to blindness.

Remember, many lasers have the potential to cause eye damage even with scattered radiation. Therefore, it is essential always to wear laser safety glasses in areas where a label indicates their requirement. Neglecting to wear appropriate laser glasses in a laser safety zone not only puts your eyes at risk but can also lead to serious consequences with your facility or OSHA for failing to have adequate personal protective equipment.

To avoid discomfort and potential hazards, it’s advisable to invest in a pair of comfortable and well-fitting laser safety glasses. You’ll appreciate their reliability when wearing them for extended periods within a laser safety area.

If your facility fails to provide clear instructions regarding when to wear laser safety glasses, it’s crucial to communicate with someone responsible for safety to address this potential disaster. Safety should never be taken lightly, as it can cost you your eyes.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT LASER SAFETY GLASSES

To ensure your utmost safety, we invite you to explore our extensive collection of laser safety glasses at Phillips Safety. We offer a wide range of high-quality glasses designed to provide superior protection for your eyes in various laser environments. 

If you need any assistance or have questions about laser safety or selecting the right pair of laser safety glasses, our knowledgeable team is here to help. Don’t compromise on your eye protection—visit our website today and prioritize your safety with Phillips Safety.

Choosing IPL Glasses: What you need to know

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) lasers have become increasingly popular for a variety of medical and cosmetic procedures such as laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and treatment of pigmentation issues. However, the intense light emitted by these lasers can be harmful to the eyes, and it is crucial to use the appropriate protective equipment to prevent eye damage.

Different than other laser types, IPL lasers do not operate at a specific wavelength. Instead, they emit light at a range of wavelengths, making it challenging to choose laser glasses based on wavelength alone. For this reason, it is recommended to use IPL-specific laser glasses that are designed to protect against the intense brightness of the light emitted by IPL lasers.

What Grade of Laser Glasses Should I Wear When Using Intense Pulse Light?

Unlike other types of lasers that operate at a specific wavelength, IPL lasers have a broad spectrum of light. Therefore, when choosing laser glasses for IPL treatments, it’s not effective to shop based on the operating wavelength of the laser. Instead, it’s essential to select laser glasses specifically designed for IPL procedures. 

These glasses are rated for IPL and offer optimal protection against the intense pulsed light used in these treatments. It is crucial to use the appropriate grade of laser glasses when performing IPL procedures to ensure the safety of both the operator and the patient. 

In other words, the grade of laser glasses you should wear when using intense pulse light lasers should be ones rated for IPL. Phillips Safety provides a range of IPL-specific laser glasses that meet the necessary safety standards and provide reliable protection against the harmful effects of IPL radiation.

Understanding the Different Types of IPL Safety Glasses and Eye Shields Available

The most common types of IPL laser glasses are either green or brown. Green is the standard IPL color and is used in most applications, while brown offers similar protection and is contrast-enhancing, giving you better vision during your work. 

 

The IPL Green laser safety lens have a polycarbonate green lens filter that provides IPL laser protection. These laser lens have visible light transmission of 15%. In addition, the IPL Green laser safety lens have ANSI Z87+ plus ANSI Z136.1 safety standards.

The IPL Brown laser safety lens utilizes a polycarbonate brown tint lens that provides specific IPL laser protection. These lenses have a visible light transmission rate of 11%. Moreover, the IPL Brown laser safety lens adheres to the safety standards of ANSI Z87+ and ANSI Z136.1.

It’s important to note that IPL glasses should be worn at all times while the laser is in use, not just by the operator but also by the patient. Additionally, IPL glasses should fit snugly around the eyes to ensure that no light can enter through the sides or top of the glasses.

While IPL glasses are crucial for protecting the eyes during IPL procedures only, it’s important to assess the risks of each procedure and to choose the appropriate protective equipment accordingly.

In addition to standard IPL safety glasses, Phillips Safety also provides other types of protective IPL treatments, which are IPL patient goggles and disposable eye shields.

IPL patient goggles, also referred as patient blockout glasses are designed to protect the patient’s eyes from the bright flashes of light emitted during IPL treatments. These glasses are typically made of opaque material that completely blocks out all light, making it easier for the patient to relax during the treatment. These glasses feature adjustable straps and have a visible light transmission of 0%. 

In the same way, disposable eye shields are protective devices designed to safeguard the eyes during laser procedures. Laser eye shields are essential for protecting the eyes from the harmful effects of laser radiation, which can cause eye damage or even blindness if proper precautions are not taken. They are commonly used in ophthalmology, dermatology, and other medical fields involving lasers.

Each type of safety glasses or eye shield is designed to protect the eyes from IPL procedures and ensure the safety and comfort of both the operator and the patient. It is important to choose the right type of safety glasses or eye shield based on the specific requirements of the IPL treatment being performed. Phillips Safety offers a wide range of options to meet the needs of different IPL procedures. By following these guidelines and assessing the risks of each procedure, you can ensure that you are taking the necessary steps to protect your eyes during IPL treatments.

If you need help in selecting the appropriate IPL laser protection glasses or goggles for your eye safety requirements, the laser safety specialists at Phillips Safety are available to assist you.

The Multiple Benefits of Clip-On Flip-Up Magnifying Reading Glasses

If you work in a job that requires regular detailed work or reading, good vision is key. Squinting while having to read small-font instructions can lead to headaches and migraines while missing each detail on close-up work can lead to even more problems.

Clip-On Magnifiers

Unfortunately, not a lot of products available on the market allow professionals to use glasses only for this type of close-up vision. Most glasses focus on a single prescription strength, which becomes a problem if you see perfectly fine otherwise. That’s where clip-on flip-up magnifying reading glasses come into play. These types of glasses actually work perfectly well for a number of situations, which we’ll discuss below.

Reading Instructions While Operating Machinery

Machinists know the importance of keeping a close eye on your machinery. Regardless of how your exact job or industry, you’ll need to make sure that every part functions well together in order to manufacture products and parts exactly as desired. But especially on complex machines, that can be difficult. In fact, you may have to read instructions or safety manuals before, during, and after the operation. When first starting to work on a new machine, the same is true. How do you make sure that you can do both simultaneously? Straining to make sure you can read these instructions does not allow you to be efficient or operate the machine itself at the same time. Through reading glasses, you can optimize the process, helping you read and understand every manual more easily. And when they clip on and/or flip-up, they won’t get in the way of the operation after you’re done reading.

Writing Reports While Working

Some jobs, especially in the manufacturing industry for lean organizations, require regular write-ups on reports. Particularly if safety is a concern for your job or the company you work for, these reports play a crucial part in evaluating both your performance and the overall environment you work in. Speaking of safety: as you write those reports, you have to make sure that you can concentrate easily while everyone around you continues their job. Searching for the right glasses, or trying to write without seeing every detail, can be difficult. And again, clip-on flip-up magnifying reading glasses can help ease your burden. They help you focus on your report, but also detach and get out of the way easily to help you perform your regular duties. In some situations, speed is key – and these glasses can help improve your speed.

Completing Detail Work

Last, but certainly not least, these types of classes can help any professional who has to complete detail work on a regular basis. Welding, for example, requires close attention to the work you’re doing while simultaneously protecting your eyes. Sure, you’ll have general eye protection, but that will matter little if you don’t know exactly what you’re doing. A large variety of professionals require this type of detail work. And once your eyesight begins to worsen, particularly if you are not able to see details as clearly as you used to, you may find yourself feeling unqualified for your duties. Clip-on, flip-up glasses ensure that you can see closely, and even magnify the details on which you’re working, allowing you to stay just as proficient and effective even as your eyesight is not as great as it used to be.

3 Clip-On Flip-Up Magnifying Reading Glasses for Professionals Across Industries

In other words, clip-on flip-up magnifying reading glasses can help a variety of professionals across industries. The numerous situations in which they become beneficial to make them worth the investment for anyone who needs to read small type, or complete detail work, while still protecting their eyes. At the same time, you also have to find the right product for your needs. The general concepts matter only so much if you cannot find an option that is both comfortable and accomplishes its purpose. Here are 3 options that can do just that:

As the name suggests, these CFA glasses work especially well for large frames and lenses. A lens/eye size of 59, B measurement of 50, and bridge size of 15 all accommodate larger glasses better than any option below.

The CFS alternative to the above option is its perfect counterpart. A significantly smaller size, particularly in terms of the B size, allow them to easier fit on small frames.

Finally, this option is a perfect compromise of the above two. A rounded metal frame, clear lenses, help you see everything clearly even if you have to perform detail and close-up work.

All three of these products retail for $14.99, making them an affordable addition to your safety gear. In addition, they attach seamlessly to your existing safety glasses, helping you better complete your job without adding any type of inconvenience. Finally, they can be adjusted according to your individual prescription, while their size allows for convenient pocket storage to keep them safe only for situations when you actually need them. Safety in your job environment is key. You always want to protect your eyes, particularly when it comes to completing detailed work. Through clip-on flip-up magnifying reading glasses, you can ensure that your eyes remain safe while better performing your job.

Protect Your Eyes during the Next Eclipse with Green Shade 14 Glasses

For a long time, individuals faced limitations when it came to directly observing solar eclipses. While certain observatories employed specialized filters on camera lenses to achieve this, the average person had to rely on alternative methods. These methods included observing a projected image of the sun by creating a pinhole in a box and redirecting the light onto a paper surface, or simply watching the eclipse on television. Occasionally, those attending dedicated eclipse-viewing events were provided with disposable glasses, but these were of low quality and unsuitable for other purposes. Consequently, individuals who did not attend such events were left with one of the other two methods, both of which lacked the excitement and engagement of direct viewing.

Experience the thrill of directly observing a solar eclipse without compromising your eye safety or breaking the bank. With our budget-friendly green shade 14 solar eclipse glasses, you can now enjoy the awe-inspiring sight of the pre-totality eclipse without any harm to your retinas. These glasses offer optimal shading, providing the necessary protection against the intense brightness of the event.

WHY EYE PROTECTION IS CRUCIAL FOR VIEWING ECLIPSES

Eye protection is of utmost importance during solar eclipses due to the nature of observing the sun. While a solar eclipse reaches total darkness only during its totality phase, when the moon fully covers the sun’s disc, the moments before and after can be particularly challenging. During these phases, the sun’s light reflects off the edges of the moon, intensifying its brightness. Although it may initially appear harmless, this intense brightness can cause more damage than meets the eye.

The potential harm arises from the fact that as an eclipse begins, the light levels on the ground decrease. Consequently, your pupils naturally dilate to allow more light to enter. However, when you direct your gaze towards the sun, your eyes are exposed to the full power of its rays. This exposure can lead to retinal burns and other forms of eye damage. Severe retinal burns can result in a condition known as “eclipse blindness”. While this type of blindness is often temporary, there is no guarantee of complete restoration of vision. Therefore, it is crucial to take the necessary precautions and protect your eyes during solar eclipses to prevent any potential harm.

METHODS FOR PROTECTING YOUR EYES

Paper Projection

During their early years, many individuals become acquainted with a common method for observing an eclipse. This method involves creating a small hole in a cardboard box or another opaque object, aligning the hole with the sun. However, it is important to note that direct viewing through this hole is highly discouraged. Instead, a piece of paper is placed in the path of the incoming light, allowing for the observation of the projected image. While this approach provides a basic understanding of an eclipse, it presents a notable limitation: the resulting image appears incredibly tiny and lacks a sense of realism. For those seeking a more immersive and impactful experience, alternative methods are necessary.

TV Viewing

Many individuals resort to this particular solution, which involves utilizing television cameras equipped with special lens filters specifically designed for capturing the eclipse. The cameras are directed towards the sun, allowing you to comfortably observe the event from the comfort of your home. However, the drawback of this method is that the experience may lack the authenticity and immersive quality that one desires. Watching the eclipse through a television screen can feel disconnected and fail to replicate the awe-inspiring nature of witnessing it firsthand.

Observing Safely with Protective Lenses

To ensure a comprehensive and safe viewing experience, utilizing shade 14 welder’s glasses is the recommended approach. This recommendation comes from NASA, as these glasses offer optimal protection against the intense glare and radiation emitted during an eclipse. Despite their dark tint, they still allow sufficient light transmission to observe the unfolding celestial phenomenon. Moreover, these glasses can be inserted into a sturdy frame, allowing for their use in various activities that necessitate robust protection against intense light, such as welding. By investing in these versatile glasses, you not only safeguard your eyes during an eclipse but also acquire a valuable tool for other high-light-intensity tasks.

Eclipse glasses can also be crafted using a specific variant of mylar material. This specialized mylar is commonly employed in the production of affordable and disposable eclipse glasses enclosed within cardboard frames. Although effective for their intended purpose, these cardboard frames lack the durability required for extended use or for other activities beyond viewing eclipses.

THE BENEFITS OF OUR SHADE 14 GLASSES

Our shade 14 lenses are crafted from resilient materials and securely embedded in sturdy plastic frames. With the ability to block over 99 percent of UV radiation and 97 percent of infrared rays, these lenses offer exceptional protection. Their unparalleled darkness renders them unsuitable for everyday sunglasses, making them perfectly suited for their intended purpose: eclipse viewing. Notably, their durability extends beyond this celestial event, as they can be seamlessly transitioned for use in welding applications. Designed to withstand the rigors of welding, these glasses are built to last.

Phillips Safety provides a selection of solar eclipse eyewear available in two distinct frame options: glasses and goggles. These options cater to different preferences and requirements, allowing individuals to choose the style that best suits their needs. Whether you prefer the convenience and comfort of glasses or the added protection and coverage offered by goggles, our solar eclipse eyewear ensures that you can safely observe and enjoy solar eclipses without compromising your eye health.

In addition, our collection at Phillips Safety features shade 14 welding glass specifically designed for solar eclipse viewing. Available in green and gold colors, these welding glasses offer optimal protection and visibility during solar eclipses. With a range of formats and sizes to choose from, you can select the ideal shade 14 welding glass that suits your preferences and ensures a safe and enjoyable viewing experience. Explore our selection and embrace the opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring beauty of solar eclipses with confidence and clarity.
