I bought Amazon’s Medical Nation ones last summer. They’re cheap and my glasses and a mask easily fit under. It’s just a simple physical barrier.
As I’ve said, I only use them occasionally when I’m doing something that wouldn’t be recommended for us-dirty work or caring for sick. Examples-I swept the utility part of my basement that had a lot of dust/dirt and used one in addition to mask and glasses. It was a dirty job and I didn’t want to ask others.
I also used it when I was digging to plant flowers and a few veggies. I have used one a couple times to rake leaves, but decided the last 2 seasons to hire that out. I’ve also hired out the lawn mowing.
When I’ve picked up my young grandkids at school and they turned out to be sick, I’ve added a mask annd shield until their parents come. When we know they’re sick, we try to limit my exposure, but it’s not always possible. I enjoyed my grandaughter Thursday afternoon with no mask as usual. That night she spiked a fever. I just did my hypertonic saline yesterday and today and will see her when she’s fever and cough free. I took her bro to a movie yesterday during her doc appt. He had no symptoms.
I’m not sure if you would need a shield if you aren’t doing these higher risk things.
