The LG-338 laser safety glasses are designed to provide broad-spectrum protection across multiple commonly used medical and industrial laser wavelengths. These include Nd:YAG lasers operating at 1064 nm, Alexandrite lasers at 755 nm, and frequency-doubled green YAG lasers at 532 nm. The eyewear also covers extended near-infrared and visible regions, offering protection from 190 nm up to 1079 nm.
Optical Density and Coverage
The LG-338 lenses are marked with the following optical densities (OD), showing the level of laser attenuation at each wavelength band:
-
980–1064 nm: OD 7+
-
190–534 nm: OD 7+
-
750–760 nm: OD 7+
-
720–770 nm: OD 5+
-
770–850 nm: OD 4+
-
925–1070 nm: OD 6+
-
850–1079 nm: OD 5+
These optical densities indicate the lens’ ability to block laser radiation across overlapping spectral regions, particularly those used in Nd:YAG and Alexandrite systems.
L-Ratings and Certification
The L-ratings (EN 207/208) indicate the protection levels under specific laser exposure conditions:
-
400–534 nm IRM LB6
-
750–760 D LB5
-
750–760 IR LB7
-
980–1064 D LB5
-
980–1064 IR LB7
These values demonstrate compliance with European and international laser safety standards, confirming resistance to both continuous-wave and pulsed laser exposure within the specified wavelength ranges.
Standards and Compliance
The LG-338 model meets worldwide laser safety standards, including:
-
FDA, AU/NZ IEC 60825.14:2014, EN 207/208, and CE Marking.
Such compliance ensures suitability for medical, cosmetic, and industrial environments where certified eyewear is required.
Transmission and Visibility
With a visible light transmission (VLT) of 22 %, the LG-338 lenses maintain good visibility in clinical or laboratory settings while still providing high optical density against laser radiation.
