Evaluation of Face Shields, Goggles and Safety Glasses as a Virus Transmission Control Measure to Protect the Wearer Against Cough Droplets

2022-02-25

Abstract excerpt

Face shields (also referred to as visors), goggles and safety glasses have been worn during the COVID-19 pandemic as one measure to control transmission of the virus. However, their effectiveness in controlling facial exposure to cough droplets is not well established and standard tests for evaluating eye protection for this application are limited. A method was developed to evaluate face shields, goggles and safe...
