ABSTRACT:
A side shield for eyeglasses includes a metal foil shape-retentive member sandwiched between a neoprene base layer and an ornamental fabric cover layer. The shape-retentive member includes first and second arcuate lobe ends connected by a reduced width medial neck portion. Two pair of slits formed through the base and cover layers on opposite sides of the medial neck portion allows the shield to be slipped onto a temple region of an eyeglass earbow, without contact between the shape-retentive member and the earbow, and thereafter deformed to a custom configuration by a user to block peripheral light and wind. In a method of making the side shields, a plurality of preformed shape-retentive members are laminated to a neoprene base sheet. A fabric cover sheet is then laminated in overlying relation to the shape-retentive members and the base sheet to form a three layer laminate sheet. Specially configured dies or other cutting techniques are then used to cut mirror image left and right hand side shields from the laminate sheet.
