joe doucet's fashionable face shield with integrated sunglasses launches for sale

following the success of his proposal earlier in 2020 (see previous coverage here), joe doucet’s fashionable face shield has now launched for sale. the innovative ‘vue shield’ comes with integrated sunglass lenses and arm, which makes it more practical and less intrusive on the wearer than a typical face shield would. an essential protective tool against COVID-19, ‘vue shield’ offers full face protection from droplets, sprays and splashes, while it comes in men’s and women’s sunglass styles, as well as a clear version.all images courtesy of vue shield/ joe doucet

‘how do we encourage mass adoption of an unwanted necessity,?’ asks joe doucet, whose answer is a face shield that ‘people would actually want to wear rather than simply put up with.’ the high-quality, affordable ‘vue shield’ comes with integrated tinted sunshade in men’s and women’s styles, while a clear, unisex version is also available. all models feature all-over UV protection and anti-fog coating, while the clear version also provides blue-light blocking, which protects eyes from screen stress.

the face shield is currently available for preorder on vueshield.com, while its release date is set for 16 november, 2020. the shield is reusable and easy to clean and disinfect, while it comes with its own convenient carrying bag. ‘it is hoped that improving the basic face shield design will encourage far greater uptake of its usage and help everyone adjust to the “new normal” that awaits us,’ adds joe doucet.
