Laser-Protection Eyewear: Preliminary Results from Colorfastness Testing.

Abstract

Samples of selected laser-protection eyewear were tested for a 3-month period in the colorfastness part of the USAFSAM Laser-Protection Eyewear Evaluation Program. Results included some moderate to severe changes in optical density (OD), measured by a laser OD system, as well as changes in haze and refraction. Some protection devices underwent severe structural changes as a result of testing. A follow-on study to determine an appropriate revised cutoff for colorfastness testing is briefly described.
