    Patent number: 7568797
    Abstract: An improved pair of safety glasses is provided with magnets to prevent flying debris, such as metal shavings, striking the face and endangering the eyes. Magnetic strips are disposed around the periphery of the safety glasses or embedded in grooves defined around the edge of the glasses. The magnetic strips will tend to attract any flying metal debris which may strike the safety glasses near the edges thereof, preventing metal particles from infringing the facial area, and, in particular, the area surrounding the eyes.
