Laser safety glaseses are not sunglasses, they filter a specific wavelength. Of course you need to select the correct glasses for the wavelength expected, but most of these attacks seem to be the 550nm green. They only have to filter a small part of the colour spectrum. Of course certification for flight use is another matter.
