Holmium lasers, operating at wavelengths around 2080 nm to 2100 nm, are widely used in surgical applications, particularly in urology. These powerful lasers demand precise and effective eye protection to ensure safety during procedures. Choosing the right Holmium laser protection glasses is critical for maintaining both safety and clear visibility in surgical environments.
Explore our range of 2100 nm laser safety glasses designed specifically for Holmium lasers.
Types of Laser Safety Glasses for Holmium Lasers
Laser safety glasses for Holmium lasers are available in two main types:
- Polycarbonate Lenses:
While lightweight and cost-effective, polycarbonate lenses typically offer lower visibility, making them less suitable for precise surgical work. - Filter Glass Lenses:
Preferred in surgical settings, filter glass lenses provide superior visibility and high Visible Light Transmission (VLT), crucial for maintaining accuracy during delicate procedures.
Recommended 2100 nm Laser Safety Glasses
The LG-080 and LG-080N laser safety glasses are designed specifically for Holmium lasers. These models feature:
- Optical Density (OD): 5+ (100,000x attenuation) at 2080 nm and 2100 nm, providing robust protection against laser exposure.
- High VLT: 75% VLT, offering clear and bright visibility with minimal colour distortion.
- Filter Glass Lenses: Durable and clear, ensuring the best performance in surgical and medical environments.

Why Use Holmium Laser Protection Glasses?
Holmium lasers emit infrared light that is invisible to the naked eye, making accidental exposure a significant hazard. Protective glasses with an OD of 5+ ensure the laser intensity is safely reduced to non-damaging levels. These glasses also help protect against scatter and reflection, common in surgical environments.
Key Considerations for Selecting Holmium Laser Glasses
When choosing Holmium laser protection glasses, consider the following:
- Wavelength Coverage:
Ensure the glasses are specifically rated for 2080 nm and 2100 nm to match Holmium laser output. - Optical Density (OD):
A minimum OD of 5+ is required for effective protection. - Visibility:
High VLT is essential in surgical settings to ensure clear and precise work. - Standards Compliance:
Verify that the glasses meet Australian and international laser safety standards for certified protection.
