Abstract: A light-weight, disposable face shield assembly for the protection of the eyes and face of a wearer from accidental exposure to infectious, hazardous or undesirable substances. The shield assembly includes an elongated, semi-flexible head support strip divided into four foldable segments and a rectangular, semi-flexible, transparent protective face panel affixed at its upper edge portion to an intermediate face panel support segment of the head support strip. The intermediate face panel support segment is bounded on one side by a forehead support segment of shorter length than the face panel support segment and on the other side by first and second head support segments.
