Protective glasses for high-energy laser therapy

• The glasses come with a case, as shown in the picture, and a safety cord.
• Glasses for high-energy laser therapy selectively eliminate the wavelengths that occur in laser therapy and are harmful to vision. These glasses do not eliminate the laser beam that determines the treatment site.
• Protective glasses for high-energy laser therapy only slightly block daylight and only remove certain wavelengths. This causes a change in the colors of the surroundings when looking through glasses for high-energy laser therapy.

It is important to remember that failure to use eye protection can have very serious consequences. Low exposure leads to eye strain, and severe exposure leads to permanent vision loss. There are relevant regulations for the use of protective glasses for high-energy laser therapy during treatments. The use of glasses for high-energy laser therapy is mandatory for all persons present in the room during laser therapy treatment.

Laser therapy – eye protection

During laser therapy, great emphasis must be placed on eye protection. Protective glasses for high-energy laser therapy must be used for all treatments, both by the patient and by the person performing the treatment.

Glasses for high-energy laser therapy – a few tips

• Choose glasses from reputable manufacturers, as only such glasses guarantee safety. The glasses should be stored in appropriate cases, preferably near the device they are intended for.
• If both biostimulating and high-energy lasers are used in the same cabinet, the glasses must be correctly marked. Remember that glasses for biostimulating laser therapy do not provide adequate eye protection during high-energy laser therapy.
• It must also be remembered that glasses for high-energy laser therapy do not provide adequate eye protection during biostimulating laser therapy, as they must allow the red pilot beam to pass through, which is very strongly filtered in biostimulating laser therapy.
• It is very important that all persons present in the room during high-energy laser therapy wear protective glasses for high-energy laser therapy. Therefore, if the laser therapy is performed in a room with several therapists and patients, everyone must wear appropriate glasses. A better solution is to allocate dedicated treatment rooms where only the patient and the therapist are present during the treatment. In that case, two pairs of protective glasses for laser therapy will be sufficient.

How to interpret the table above?

• The spectral range is the wavelength. We can see which wavelength corresponds to which color of light in the illustration.
• The optical density is the exponent of the attenuation value in tens. Thus, for example, "2+" means that the filter in the laser therapy glasses in the selected wavelength range attenuates better than 10² = 100 times. That the value is higher than 100 is indicated by "+". And to explain it further, "3+", "4+" and so on up to "8+" mean an attenuation that is better than 1000 times (because 10³ = 1000), 10000 times (because 10⁴ = 10000), 1,000,000,000 times (because 10⁸ = 1,000,000,000), respectively.
• The last column briefly informs us that the filter is effective for continuous lasers (D), pulsed lasers (I) and pulsed lasers with Q-switching (R).
