I do and I did test. The IR thermometer read no change in temperature through ½ starphire glass.

A small part of the reflected beam burnt my exposed wrist. I have no idea where the reflection was the rest of the time I was using the laser. While wearing the glasses you cannot see any part of the laser beam other than the focal point. Just as with a firearm, one mistake could permanently affect yours or another’s life.
