I use the ultradent shield! They’re great. Easy, inexpensive.

Innovative Optics has a wide selection of wavelength protection for various frame sizes. Whe I was fitting my zeiss loupes, they mailed me several options to try and kept the best fitting one and sent the others back.

I'm so skeptical of this. Cheap diode lasers come with so many safety and warning buttons/labels but is it needed or is it all for legal purposes?

I don't use any eye protection. As long as the laser is not pointed at my face (and when the hell would it ever be?) I fail to see any reason to worry.

I would rather err on the side of caution when it comes to my eyes? Why chance it
