Safety -- Dependability -- Comfort -- Guaranteed

 

LaserShield® Filters

NoIR LaserShields are the product of engineering innovation and tight manufacturing tolerances, providing an optimal balance between protection and visibility.

  • Polycarbonate LaserShield goggles - hardcoated and unbreakable.
  • Laser protection and absorptive dyes molded into the plastic.
  • All specifications guaranteed.
  • Non-reflective technology - energy is absorbed for a minimum of 10 seconds before loss of protection.
  • LaserShield dyes are based on decades of research and innovation in chemistry-LaserShields will not photobleach or degrade over time.
  • Unlikely surface scratches have no affect on laser protection.
  • Converging protection with comfort and style.

NoIR laser safety goggles have found applications in nearly every discipline that employs coherent or non-coherent light, including enhancement of fluorescence of bodily fluids and latent fingerprints for forensics; enhancement of chemiluminesence and fluorescence in medical, biological and even marine biological applications; dye enhancement in leak detection, patient protection in post-treatment pharmaceutical applications, UV protection in dental and industrial bonding/curing/whitening applications and more. Contact a NoIR technical representative to discuss your light-based eye protection/enhancement needs.

Materials:

Polymer - Polymer LaserShields utilize absorptive dyes that will not fade, photobleach or scratch off. Our polymer filters are available in many lightweight and comfortable frame styles

Glass - Glass filter LaserShields afford very high visible light and higher damage thresholds.

 

Low Vision and Sunglass Filters 

NoIR offers a full spectrum of fashionable, functional and affordable sunglass filters. With nearly 40 different lens colors and transmission characteristics absorbing ultraviolet, visible and infrared energy, the NoIR lens system can help maximize functional vision, enhance contrast and provide comfort against disabling glare. NoIR and UVShield filters may increase mobility and provide relief from the light-sensitivity and discomfort related to the onset of macular degeneration and other vision-impairments, including night-blindness.
 
All NoIR/UVShield filters absorb ultraviolet radiation to 400nm, with many lenses also blocking blue light, protecting the retina from high-energy wavelengths which may contribute to the degenerative process culminating in macular degeneration. NoIR series filters also cut infrared wavelengths, ‘cooling’ the light by reducing the heat energy of the sun to provide a more soothing, comfortable viewing experience.
 
NoIR Low Vision Filters have become the point where utility and comfort converge by providing essential light management, visiblity, and protection with an eye on wearability. NoIR sunglasses are available in comfortable and good-looking styles, many with top and side-shield protection and designed to fit over prescription glasses. The NoIR Low Vision Filter System is made in the USA.
