Abstract: This invention provides eye-protecting shields or chambers that are sealed against the facial skin by an adhesive pliable foam or sponge rubber layer about a face conforming flange with a bulbous clear portion not touching eyelids or the eyelashes. The shields can be ventilated to the atmosphere through a planar flap outwardly of a flat cutout adjacent an outer corner of an eye. Access to the eye may be secured via openable flap for the introduction of medicaments to the eye. In a specific embodiment the access to environmental air may be controlled by a selective access valve and a moisture or medicant pad may be carried by the flap inwardly of the shield. A releasable catch between the flap and the bulbous portion permits self-closing and retention of the flap. A pair of shields with an elastic member therebetween provides a pair of spectacles which may include an elastic or adjustable headband with releasable fastener(s).
