Date Announced: 26 Jun 2014

The availability of cheap and powerful laser pointers increases the potential risk for eyes in public and private areas. Most of the victims of laser attacks are public and air traffic but also more and more attacks to police and rescue officers during demonstrations are reported.

In the darkness even a short, diffuse and grazing incidence of a visible laser beam is able to result in complete blindness, several minutes glare or longer lasting and/or a permanent effect in someone’s eyes. These dangerous threats are consequently banned by law. Different operation conditions require adapted and customized solutions. I.e. reflective coatings can be more or less unsuited for police officers in the field due to the risk for scratches. But in all applications where good color recognition is required and the risk for scratches is low, a goggle with a narrow-band reflection would be the better choice. With it an individual risk assessment is required. So for instance regarding powerful infrared lasers which are much more dangerous for fighting pilots than for civil persons.
