Didymium Safety Glasses for Glassworkers


We offer the highest quality filtered glass lenses designed for the glass worker. You no longer have to pay those high prices for frames from that other company. Most all of the didymium lenses available anywhere comes from the same factory in Germany. So the only difference between where you buy your glasses is: the style of the frame and how much you pay. We also sell many didymium glasses to Blacksmiths.

Four Basic Types of Glass
  1. Rose Didymium - We and no one carries anymore - use the enhanced
  2. Enhanced Didymium - More of the Didymium
  3. A Shade 3 or 5 Glass - Adds even more protection, you still need didymium
  4. Boroscopes - now replaced by the better ACE
  5. ACE -  Similar to: Enhansed Didymium plus a welding shade 3 or 5 together all in one glass.
To help you decide on the level of safety you require Click Here to go to the goverment NIOSH report.

(formally Boroscopes)
Boroscopes (Borosilic Glass)
Boroscopes are designed to meet the need for the extra UV and IR protection needed when working on borosilicate glass. Boroscopes are specially formulated glass filter lenses that the manufacture exclusively owns. These lenses have been developed for the lampworking and glassblowing markets. This revolutionary product is greatly lighter than conventional laminated products and comes in a full coverage lens which is a higher quality design because there are no areas without shading. Boroscopes should be worn when working on hard glass types where regular didymium lenses are not adequate due to the fact of insufficient filtration of ultra violet and infrared absorption.
Liability Disclaimer:
We are not optometrists and can only make suggestions concerning eye protection. There are many types of eye protection available. The manufacture and Sundance Art Glass does not accept any liability concerning eye damage arising from the use, misuse, or non-use of any eyewear products we sell.
