The integrity of pharmaceutical products in controlled environments all depend on robust contamination control strategies. At the heart of these strategies lies the selection of personal protective equipment (PPE), notably, cleanroom goggles.
While compliance and comfort are essential, the field of view (FoV) provided by cleanroom goggles is a critical, yet frequently underestimated, variable. Reduction in FoV, often caused by ill-suited eye protection, can compromise visual capabilities, diminish operator efficiency, and inadvertently increase the risk of process deviations. Not all goggles are created equal: design differences may substantially affect both visibility and protection. It is therefore imperative to evaluate FoV alongside standard regulatory criteria.
Supported through research
As contamination control experts, we emphasize that a thorough understanding of how various goggles influence visibility directly correlates to safety outcomes and operational continuity. Beyond technical data such as EN ISO 14644-1 or GMP Annex 1 compliance, selecting the right eye protection should involve ergonomic assessment and an evaluation of optical clarity, ventilation, fit, and wearer comfort.
Our research and practical insights, published in Contamination Control Magazine by VCCN, reinforce the need for an evidence-based approach to PPE selection, harmonizing regulatory demands with on-the-ground performance.
