Filtering eyewear available

CBC News: "Dartmouth [part of Halifax municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada] firm begins production of anti-laser eyewear for pilots. Metamaterial Technologies Inc. says eyeglasses that refract laser light will be available in a few months. ...protective eyewear that it says can protect pilots and military personnel from the growing threat of laser strikes."

Reportedly based on nano-structures that precisely block two of the most common laser wavelengths. Films to be applied to aircraft windows, but also snazzy eyewear.
