Glasses, also known as eyeglasses or spectacles, are devices consisting of glass or hard plastic lenses mounted in a frame that holds them in front of a person's eyes, typically using a bridge over the nose and arms which rest over the ears.

Glasses are typically used for vision correction, such as with reading glasses and glasses used for nearsightedness.

Safety glasses provide eye protection against flying debris for construction workers or lab technicians; these glasses may have protection for the sides of the eyes as well as in the lenses.

Some types of safety glasses are used to protect against visible and near-visible light or radiation.

Glasses are worn for eye protection in some sports, such as squash.

Glasses wearers may use a strap to prevent the glasses from falling off during movement or sports.

Wearers of glasses that are used only part of the time may have the glasses attached to a cord that goes around their neck, to prevent the loss of the glasses.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury or infection.

The hazards addressed by protective equipment include physical, electrical, heat, chemicals, biohazards, and airborne particulate matter.

Protective equipment may be worn for job-related occupational safety and health purposes, as well as for sports and other recreational activities.

"Protective clothing" is applied to traditional categories of clothing, and "protective gear" applies to items such as pads, guards, shields, or masks, and others.

A dust mask is a flexible pad held over the nose and mouth by elastic or rubber straps to protect against dusts encountered during construction or cleaning activities, such as dusts from drywall, brick, wood, fiberglass, silica (from ceramic or glass production), or sweeping.

A dust mask can also be worn to protect against allergens.

A dust mask is worn in the same fashion as a paint mask or surgical mask, but it is dangerous to confuse the three because they each protect against specific airborne dangers.

Using the wrong mask for a job can present a significant and possibly deadly danger as many dust masks with widely varied levels of protection may look similar, and even masks that do not protect against dust at all, such as paint masks and surgical masks may look similar to dust masks.

Misfitting masks are also a danger as they allow material to bypass the mask entirely.

A correct fit may not be as critical in masks that are intended to protect against splattering liquids or mists.

Dust masks are manufactured to protect against only certain dangers, and do not protect against chemicals such as vapors and mists.

For this reason, it is dangerous to confuse dust masks with paint masks.

A raincoat or slicker is a waterproof or water-resistant coat worn to protect the body from rain.

The term rain jacket is sometimes used to refer to raincoats that are waist length.

A rain jacket may be combined with a pair of rain pants to make a rain suit.
