Eyewear with side shields protects the mucous membranes of the eyes, and full face shields protect the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth. They are worn for procedures in which blood, bone chips, amniotic fluid, and the aerosol of other body fluids may splash or be projected into the eyes. Goggles with enclosed sides and chin-length face shields offer better protection than do simple eyeglasses.
