Recognising that laser eyewear is only safe if it is actually worn, the designers have made this a comfortable and stylish alternative to a traditional goggle

Pro-Lite Technology - a specialist photonics distributor - has launched the latest laser safety eyewear style from GPT Glendale, the Encore Recognising that laser eyewear is only safe if it is actually worn, GPT designers have made the Encore a comfortable and stylish alternative to a traditional goggle

The Encore is a state-of-the-art wraparound spectacle with a wide field of view that is available in two frame sizes (large and small) to ensure that a perfect fit is obtained with all wearers.

The larger frame has been tested to offer a comfortable fit over most popular styles of prescription spectacle, while either frame provides a comfortable fit for non-spectacle wearers.

The Encore is available with a wide range of polycarbonate and mineral glass filters allowing Pro-Lite to offer CE-marked and DIN tested laser eyewear compliant with BS EN 207 to guard against accidental exposure from almost any type of laser.

Polycarbonate filters generally provide blocking against low powered lasers, and offer the advantages of lighter weight and moderate cost.

Mineral glass filters are offered for higher powered lasers and generally exhibit a higher level of visible light transmission for enhanced workplace safety.
