There are many options to consider when selecting laser safety eyewear for 2080 nm & 2100 nm Holmium lasers in Australia. Below will find some of the  pluses and minuses of a glass filter lenses compared to polycarbonate lenses for Holmium laser eyewear

Glass lenses have the advantage of unparalleled clarity and visibility as well as a high VLT (Visible Light Transmission) of around 75% providing almost clear visibility. It also gives improved clarity over the polycarbonate lens and is less susceptible to scratches. Glass lenses in Holmium laser safety eyewear tend to cover a broader range of lasers from Holmium, Nd YAG and CO2 as well as telecom laser wavelengths.
