Face shields are now part of every Filipino’s hierarchy of pandemic essentials. It sits there right next to face masks, PPEs, and the best brand of alcohol you can purchase. Sure, we’re ready to comply with the strict “No Face Mask + Face Shield No Entry” but that doesn’t mean we’re happy about it. Especially people with glasses. Watching a movie in IMAX and having to wear the 3D glasses was frustrating enough, now we have to deal with the struggle on a daily basis (at least IMAX was fun). But fret not, we heard your struggle. Face shields are here to stay (sorry, my fellow four-eyed peeps) so it’s time to invest in one you can live in for the rest of the life in the pandemic. Here’s where to buy the best face shields for people with glasses.

Acetate Face Shield (Shopee)
If you think the acrylic face shields with forehead support are too heavy, you’re not alone. This acetate full face shield (P49) is a better alternative although it might not provide the clear vision quality acrylics have.

Heng De
This is the cheapest and simplest option. Everyone from government officials to street vendors wears the basic Heng De face shield. It’s lightweight, perfect for perching on your glasses. The downside is each box has a hit-and-miss product. Some films are clear, some remain blurry even after peeling the protective covers. But for the price of as low as P10, you get what you paid for.
