During labs the chances for eyes to be exposed to acids, bases, corrosives, and other harmful chemicals is high so goggles can help prevent splattering solutions or chemical particles from going directly into the eyes. Also the goggles help protect the eyes from broken glass and other shrapnel that could occur due to small explosions. The safety goggles are also important to wear because of stinging smells that will make your eyes sting, and also other things in the lab that could damage the cornea or any other parts of the eyes.
