Definition
Eye protectors made with a flexible plastic frame and one-piece lens and having an elastic headband. They afford the eye total protection from all angles as the whole periphery of the goggle is in contact with the face. Goggles may have toughened glass lenses or have wide vision plastic lenses. The lenses are usually replaceable.
Safety goggles are more prone to misting than spectacles.
