Why can't there be glasses with the different types layered together into one?

  Then you can't see anything. They're narrowband filters. A welding mask would be a wideband filter, but is much harder to work with when it's engaged.

  Because if you want to cover all possible lasers you'll block out the visible spectrum as well and won't see anything.

    You can get some overlap tho. I have 520nm goggles that tone down 465nm.

      That's mostly because it's tough to get a perfect notch filter in the visible spectrum but you'd never want to use the 520nm with a 465nm unless it was low enough power the fuzzy edge of the filter knocked it's power down enough to be safe.
