Since the COVID-19 pandemic spread, there has been a greater need than ever for face masks and shields. Personal protection equipment (PPE) was formerly practically impossible to find, but now, thankfully, you can visit your neighborhood drugstore and probably find everything you need. One of the more common ways people defend themselves from COVID-19 and other illnesses is with face shields.

Advantages

Face shields are less constricting and more comfortable. They are a fantastic solution if you become claustrophobic or uncomfortable in small areas. Face shields for less when used than face masks because they are more open. Additionally, face shields do not affect your voice while worn, improving communication.

One of their most significant advantages is that face shields are transparent. They are a fantastic solution for individuals who interact with deaf and hard-of-hearing people. Face shields, as opposed to facial masks, offer complete face protection when used correctly. Users are subtly reminded not to touch their faces by face shields. It's widespread to touch your face, and frequently you may not even be aware of it. However, the majority of pathogens are conveyed through face contact. Germs can quickly enter our bodies through the openings of our lips, eyes, and nostrils.

• Reasonably affordable
• Protect a significant amount of your face.
• Broadens the protection of the face (against solid objects, for example)
• Resistant breathing is unaffected
• Vocalization is unaffected.
• Face shields do not have specific raw materials, and production lines changed over reasonably quickly.
• Less heat retention in the face skin
• Wearable alongside different face- and eye-wear, PPE users, are not required to have a clean beard.
• Not obstruct nonverbal facial communication; no fit testing necessary
• Simple to put on and take off
• Fewer cramped feelings
• Easily disinfected
• Fewer hazes than goggles

• Poorer peripheral fit than face masks for protection
• Glare/fogging

How to clean and maintain the face shield

Maintain and clean the shield regularly like other PPE. Wear gloves when washing your face shield. Clean the face shield on the inside before the outside. Use a cleaning wipe or a clean cloth with a neutral detergent. Next, apply an "EPA-registered hospital disinfection solution" to the outside. Use water or alcohol to remove any leftover material. It's crucial to avoid cleaning your face shields with everyday household products because they can harm the plastic. Dry it entirely. After that, take off your gloves and wash your hands.

Conclusion

Face shields are PPE that enclose the wearer's face entirely. A headband is fastened to a clear, curved plastic shield to screen the user from huge droplets and sprays. Droplets are produced by breathing, talking, sneezing, and coughing. The areas around the mouth, nose, and eyes are entirely shielded. Nevertheless, their primary function is to shield the wearer's eyes. Face masks, on the other hand, protect those around the wearer, although face shields are better at doing so.

Face shields are available in disposable and reusable varieties, like face masks. However, face shields function most effectively when the user wears a face mask over them. However, they offer eye protection, which may aid in fending off infections. Face shields with face masks and physical separation provide further protection, but they probably aren't enough on their own. Face shields that reach below the chin and wrap around the wearer's sides of the face offer better protection.
