Perhaps we should introduce as a community, the standard usage of laser safe googles along with the current ballistic requirement?

We already protect our own eyes from impact, why not take the extra step and get laser safe goggles? We are all grown adults here. The protection of your eyes should be your own responsibility. With the current standards in place, no one is going to sympathize for you if your eye gets shot out because you cheaped out and bought $2 repro eyepro. It shouldn't be any different with lasers with the potential of stupid people sneaking on unsafe lasers.

They are your eyes, and they should be your responsibility to protect them. You shouldn't delegate this task to the person firing the laser at you. Although, this all only applies if laser safe lenses work the way I imagine them to work.
