Holmium:YAG lasers have become a cornerstone in urological treatment, particularly for stone fragmentation and precise tissue removal. These systems operate in the 2100 nm infrared range, a spectrum not visible to the human eye and capable of damaging ocular tissues without noticeable light exposure. Appropriate eyewear is therefore necessary, not optional.
Holmium and CO₂ Coverage in One Lens
The LG-090Z eyewear is designed for compatibility with common urological setups where equipment may also utilise CO₂ at 10,600 nm. With OD 5+ protection at 2100 nm and OD 6+ for 10,600 nm, practitioners can safely work within dual-laser environments. This is supported by broader coverage across:
-
UV wavelengths (190–400 nm)
-
Mid-IR bands (1450–3000 nm)
-
Extended infrared up to 11,000 nm
These ranges cover diagnostic, surgical and auxiliary equipment used in operating theatres.
Clear Surgical Visibility
A key challenge with many medical-grade IR safety glasses is visibility. The LG-090Z counteracts that with nearly clear high-transmission lenses, allowing surgeons to maintain precision when working with scopes, stone extractors and visualisation systems. A wide vision window maintains full situational awareness near reflective metal tools and wet tissue surfaces.
Comfort-Based Design for Operating Rooms
Prolonged use is common in minimally invasive urology, where eyewear may be worn from set-up through recovery. To support this, the LG-090Z includes:
-
Customisable ratchet-angle arms
-
Extendable temple length
-
Frame vents to reduce fog accumulation
The design deliberately reduces pressure on the temples and nasal ridge, helping reduce fatigue during long surgical cases.
Global Certification for Medical Use
Compliance is critical in clinical procurement. The eyewear meets:
-
AS/NZS 1337.5 and AS/NZS ISO 19818.1:2023
-
AS/NZS IEC 60825.14:2014
-
ANSI Z136, FDA
-
CE & EN207/208
