ABSTRACT:
A device for protecting the eyes of a user. The eye protector includes a pair of substantially light impervious eye cups formed of an absorbent flexible material and adapted to fit over the closed eyes of the user. Each of the eye cups is sized and shaped to substantially entirely cover the region defined by one of the orbital openings in the skull of the user. The material is sufficiently absorbent to retain water and sufficiently flexible to conform to the closed eyes of the user. The eye protector also includes a bridge band adapted to fit over the nose bridge of the user. The bridge band is formed of an elastic material capable of expanding and contracting to vary the spacing between the eye cups to accommodate the difference in spacing between the orbital openings in the skulls of different users. The bridge band is permanently secured to the eye cups. The eye protector further includes a head band adapted to fit around the head of the user. The head band is formed of an elastic material capable of expanding and contracting to retain the eye cups in position over the closed eyes of the user while accommodating the differences in head sizes among different users. The head band is permanently secured to the eye cups. With these features, the eye protector is adapted to protect the eyes of the user from light, sand, heat, dirt, sun and the like.
