ABSTRACT:
A disposable sanitary eye protector device that includes a molded, flexible plastic, face shield portion having two eye protector openings and nose receiving cut-out; two domed shaped clear plastic eye protectors, one installed through each of the eye protector openings of the face shield portion; and an elastic securing cord having the cord ends thereof secured to the face shield portion to form a head encircling loop. The molded, flexible plastic, face shield portion is molded to the general contours of the eye and nose area of a wearer. Each of the two domed shaped, clear plastic eye protectors includes a transparent domed portion having an eye receiving cavity formed therein that is accessible through an eye insertion opening defined by an attachment ridge formed around the entire perimeter of the eye protector. In a preferred embodiment, a back surface of the face shield portion is coated with a restickable adhesive layer and a peel off cover to ensure the back surface of the face shield portion slightly adheres to the face of the wearer during user. The restickable adhesive layer may be impregnated with an antiseptic agent to kill contagions, such as bacteria and viruses, that may accidentally contact the wearer's face.
