    Class 3 and Class 4 lasers pose the highest level of hazard. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provide specific laser safety standards in the United States. Retinal eye damage occurs in the optical range of 400 to 1400 nm. When choosing laser safety eyewear, the two main characteristics to consider are optical density (OD) and wavelength protection. The eye's lens focuses light onto the retina at a magnification of around 500 times.
