    The eye protection that should be used are either a pair of
    didymium's (affectionately called "birth control glasses" among
    lampworkers because the frames are not very becoming on anyone) or
    the Aura's put out by Auralens company...go to www.auralens.com.  I
    just upgraded to the Aura's from the Didy's and there is a difference
    - besides being a lot lighter and not slipping down my nose every 5
    minutes - they do a very fine job of cutting the soda flare from the
    melting glass that's in the torch. The Aura's are about $90 but they
    are glasses that will last you a long time if properly taken care of
    and Mike ships quickly...don't skimp when it comes to your eyes...you
    only get one pair in your lifetime and you can't make beads without
    them!
