goggles
Protective glasses that cover your eyes and keep things out.
Goggles are protective eyewear with a tight seal around your eyes, designed to keep out water, chemicals, dust, or debris. Unlike regular glasses, goggles wrap around your face with a strap or band, creating a barrier that shields your entire eye area.
You'll find goggles wherever eyes need serious protection. Swimmers wear goggles to see clearly underwater without chlorine stinging their eyes. Scientists wear goggles in labs to prevent chemicals from splashing into their eyes during experiments. Welders use special dark goggles to protect against the intense light of their welding torches. Skiers and snowboarders wear goggles to block wind, snow, and glare from the sun reflecting off white slopes.
Different activities require different types of goggles. Swimming goggles are sleek and waterproof. Safety goggles in a workshop are made of impact-resistant plastic. Virtual reality goggles aren't for protection at all, but create an immersive digital world.
