Those with the JTech (or other diode 405-455nm range laser) that wear glasses–I’m looking at options to either get my eyeglass prescription in a set of laser safety -or- considering the clip-on flip down filters for my existing glasses. The latter is much less expensive of course, but not sure about how good they are. Suggestions?

A couple…
Depending on how bad your vision is, just go without for the few minutes (that’s what i do)

Build an enclosure with windows (jtech sells the windows last i saw.

Contacts

Or open up your search to goggles (clip/flip i don’t think would be good… at least for me, as i have about 60%-70% of total coverage)

Found this on Amazon for like $56

I have trouble with this too. I havent tried it yet but I think I’ll try ordering a piece of this 1/8" acrylic from jtech and make a pattern from my faceshield. That way i can wear my reading glasses under the laser shielded faceshield.

I’ve been in the same boat before. Clip-on filters are cheaper, but they don’t always provide the best coverage or comfort. If you’re using lasers regularly, it might be worth investing in prescription safety glasses. An rx safety eyewear program lets you get your prescription and laser protection in one, and the fit is usually much better. It costs more upfront but feels more secure for long-term use. You can check out this option here: rx safety eyewear program.

Ultimately, it depends on how often you’re using the laser and what feels right for you.

If you’re using JTech or other 405-455nm diode lasers and need safety eye glasses here are your options.

  1. prescription laser safety glasses for everyday use, Comines vision correction and laser protection. specifically designed to black the harmful laser wavelengths. more expensive but safer and more comfortable.

2.clip-on flap-down filter cost effective and easy to use with your existing prescription glasses. make sure they are certified for 405-455nm laser range. less durable and may not fit all glasses perfectly, may leave gaps. Recommend
for regular laser use, buy prescription safety eye glasses. for budget and occasional laser use, clip-on filters are okay. always laser certified.
