GOGGLES Meaning and
Definition
-
Goggles, a noun, refers to a type of protective eyewear that is designed to shield the eyes from various hazards, particularly those related to activities or environments where there is a risk of injury or damage to the eyes. They consist of a frame that holds two lenses, typically made of polycarbonate or other impact-resistant materials, which are placed in front of each eye. The lenses are usually held securely in the frame by means of an adjustable strap that wraps around the head, ensuring a snug fit.
Goggles serve different purposes based on their specific design and intended use. For instance, swimming goggles are waterproof and airtight, enabling clear vision underwater while protecting the eyes from chlorine or other pollutants. Safety goggles, on the other hand, are commonly worn in various industrial or scientific settings to safeguard against dust, debris, chemicals, or other potential eye irritants or dangers.
The lenses of goggles are often treated with special coatings to enhance visibility, reduce glare, or provide ultraviolet (UV) protection. Some goggles may also incorporate additional features like anti-fog properties to prevent the lenses from fogging up during use, enhancing visual clarity.
Goggles are widely used in a range of activities, including sports, construction work, laboratory work, skiing, snowboarding, and many other situations where eye protection is necessary. They are an essential piece of equipment, ensuring the safety and well-being of the eyes in potentially hazardous environments or circumstances.
