Hi Joanna,

My company makes the eyeglass mounted laser....

A couple of  thoughts -

1. I do offer cheaper lasers for $99.  (These are seconds. Brand new, but cosmetically imperfect).
Head Mounted Laser Pointer (Seconds)


I also offer less expensive clip on lasers.

2. If you do decide to make your own laser, a few things are important:

    a.  The laser should have an adjustable angle (so it can point up, down and side to side).

    b. The laser should be lightweight (on our laser, the part which attaches to the eyeglasses is 11-12 grams)

    c. For safety reasons, it should be a Class II laser (1 mW or lower).  Our laser is 0.65 mW.


Sincerely,

Margaret Cotts

Hello,

 

There may have been a previous post about this, but does anyone know where to find the small (affordable) laser pointers that pALS can mount to glasses and/or a headband, etc. for use with a static communication board? I have a family that is not going to go the route of SGD, but could benefit from this and can’t afford an expensive option.

 

I know the ones I can find that are designated for this seem to be about $130, but I’ve had people make their own in the past for much less money.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Joanna
