ABSTRACT:
Swimming goggles comprising first and second frame sections each having a peripheral flange adapted to effect a water tight seal with the face of a wearer, two transparent face plates and two transparent top members located above the face plates. The two frame sections are flexibly connected to one another. Both the face plates and the top members are sealingly secured in the frame sections. Each face plate is adapted to cover an eye of the wearer. The face plates extend in a plane substantially perpendicular to a normal line of vision. The top members each have planar top and bottom surfaces with each of the top surfaces extending at a substantial angle not exceeding 90 degrees to the plane of the face plates. The top members act to refract incoming light striking the top surfaces thereof. The wearer is thus able to see horizontally an object in front of the wearer while he is swimming with his head facing downwardly. An anti-reflection coating can cover the bottom surface of each top member.
