First thing I hear from anyone I show my laser to is "Whats the point if you can't see it thru the goggles?" Huge dilemma. Here is where it gets bad. I have taken to using my green approx. 50mW laser with just sunglasses.
Before you freak out... NOT to burn or even to look directly at the spot. Just to see the beam. Why ? Because they are right. Whats the point if you can't see anything. I need to find something in the middle. Does anyone know of goggles / glasses that would work for my purpose up to around 200mW. I am not looking for anyone to say that it is safe from a direct reflection or from staring at the dot. What I am looking for is harm reduction.
Not that it is my opinion, but I know people who shine there 100mW lasers around all the time with no protection. They just don't stare at the dot. I have had huge arguments with them for fear of them going blind. Its been months and nothing has happened. Just luck or is it harder to do damage at that power?
Thank you,
Scott
