The first thing is to ascertain if the frame is latex free, most are.  Other polycarbonate/pvc type materials should not cause a sensitivity.  Then make sure the surface that touches the face is thoroughly cleaned, this would be the mostly likely cause of a reaction is to what residue was left on the frame.  After that the only thing is to step up to a full face shield.

 

There is no such thing as a "hypoallergenic" polymer

 

 

I’m looking for a chemical-splash type laboratory safety goggle for an individual with sensitive skin, who has experienced a contact allergic skin reaction when wearing goggles in the past.  Is anyone aware of a goggle that is ‘hypoallergenic’ or, based on your experience, less likely to cause skin/allergic reactions?

 

Thanks,

SJM
