ABSTRACT:
An eye protector assembly 10 is provided which includes a film-like, resilient collapsible lens 20 that wraps about the eyes of the wearer W from temple T to temple T. The lens 20 is partially held in place by its left and right wings 30 which include respective left and right temple pads 40. The lens 20 is offset from the face of the wearer W by horizontal pads 60 which increase the wearer's W comfort and provide circulation via two primary vents 70 to allow perspiration to dissipate from the enclosure created between the lens 20 and the wearer's W face. A nose cutout region 90, conforming to the general shape of a typical user's nose N, is provided at the midpoint of the lens 20 at its bottom edge 28. A nose saddle 100, made of soft, resilient foam or rubber-type material, is attached adjacent the nose cutout region 90 on the rear concave surface 24 of the lens 20. The nose saddle 100 conforms to the shape of the nose N of the wearer W. A retention band 200 extends from the left and right edges 32 of the left and right wings 30 to provide a secure means for retaining the lens 20 on the face of the wearer W. A cylindrical container 300 provided for stowage of the eye protector assembly 10 in a rolled-up orientation is also described.
