goggles
This term refers specifically to protective eyewear that creates a seal around the eyes, distinguishing it from standard glasses or sunglasses which leave the sides open. The primary function is isolation from an external environment, whether that be liquid, particulate matter, or harmful radiation.
Grammatically, this noun is a plurale tantum, meaning it is used almost exclusively in the plural form to describe a single object. To refer to one unit, the phrase "a pair of goggles" must be used, as the singular "goggle" is not used in standard modern English to describe the eyewear.
