ABSTRACT:
An eyepiece has an upper edge fittable into the upper portion of the eye socket to deter displacement by water force and a lower portion overlying and generally conforming to the cheekbone to absorb diving shock and to limit inward movement. A cushion seal wider than the upper edge and partially bonded to it cushions the eyepiece fit. A head strap lug projects upwardly and rearwardly from the eyepiece so that the head strap connected to it urges the eyepiece upper edge up under the upper portion of the eye socket. The transversely curved front lens is inclined forwardly and downwardly to promote forward visibility during swimming and the side lens is substantially flat to improve peripheral vision and is faired into the curved front lens. A water-pocket recess is adapted to hold water for washing mist from the eyepiece internal surfaces, while preventing the water from coming into contact with the wearer's eyes during swimming, forms an inner pocket extending along the lower margin of the eyepiece which opens upwardly adjacent to the lens and has temple and nose end pockets.
