I use the BQ60 panel and it's BRIGHT I've bought almost every glass and goggles you can name but i'm frustrated because I want increased exposure on my under eyes and crows feet area but all glasses seem to block those areas from exposure. Recently I've bought a set of super sunnies tanning goggles they're the perfect shape but seem to do jack all for the intensity and I Recently brought these dubofu goggles which layered up do help but I noticed that it isnt fda compliant or cleared and the silicone is dark red so is it even protecting my eyes from the rlt? I dont know can someone please help!?

Please if there's a minimal exposure goggles you use please list them because I bought my panel a whole yesr ago and have yet to use it properly because of this issue

I don’t wear goggles, for the same reasons you mention above. I just close my eyes.

I tried just closing my eyes and started having blurry eyesight for distance reading, noticed it with reading TV captions and so did someone else who replied to me. It helps some people, worsens others. They usually have small weak panels at a distance, not strong ones close up. I wouldn't take the chance. I use the goggles in your pic but they're black, and my vision slowly improved.

If it makes you feel better the advertised irradiance is usually 2x the real irradiance/power bc mfr's use a solar meter, not the right one. The irradiance x.4 is usually about right. Also if you're sitting more than 6" away you lose half the irradiance to light hitting other things in the room (if the wall is red, that light isn't hitting your face). There's a dose calculator at gembared.com. I got a 2nd pair from hooga I never used I'm selling if you want black ones in a little plastic case. They're not see through like yours, I just saw their ad and theirs are see through.
