How Laser-Absorbing Dyes Work—And Why a Green Lens
Doesn’t Mean Laser-Safe
The Epolin team has put together a short educational PDF to help you learn more about laser lenses and how laser absorbing dyes work.
You will also learn the basics on:
1-Why Laser Light Behaves Differently
2-Five Laser Types Behind Today’s Applications

Be sure to never judge laser eyewear by its color, trust its’ certification. Only Optical Density (OD) ratings verified by independent lab testing at your exact wavelength — certified to EN 207 / ISO 19818 (or ANSI Z136.7 in the U.S.) — confirm a lens is laser-safe.
