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.

Wear goggles. Wear a lab coat. Tie your hair back.
All safety goggles are used to protect the eyes - that is obvious from the way they are designed and where you wear them on your body.
A good slogan for science safety goggles might be 'You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know how serious safety is! Don't forget those safety goggles.' You might also say 'Science is more fun when you keep it safe. Wear those safety goggles.'
Some science experiments involve substances that would be dangerous to get in your eyes.
Scientists, and others, wear safety goggles when they are working with corrosive, irritating, or toxic chemicals. If the chemicals got in their eyes eye damage could result. The goggles are to prevent that. Some scientists do not work with chemcials that do that, and those people do not wear safety goggles.
