When may a customer need to use goggles or safety masks?

A customer may need to use goggles or safety masks when engaged in activities that pose a risk of eye injury because these protective devices are specifically designed to shield the eyes from flying debris, chemical splashes, or other hazardous conditions that could occur during various activities. This includes work in construction, sports, or any task where there's a potential for injury.

Using goggles or safety masks is a crucial preventive measure to ensure safety in environments that may not otherwise be conducive to eye health. In contrast, activities such as using contact lenses or biking in the city do not inherently require goggles or safety masks for protection against eye injuries. During routine eye exams, there is also typically no need for such protection unless specific procedures present a risk, which is generally not the case. Therefore, the focus of this question is on identifying scenarios where proactive eye protection is essential to prevent injuries.
