Abstract: A shield for application to a temple bar of a pair of glasses functions to shield the user's eye at that side. The shield comprises an elongate relatively thin rigid plastic plate member which as applied to the temple bar lies generally flat against the respective side of the user's head and extends between the frame and the respective ear of the user. The plate member has a forward generally flat panel positionable on the outside of the temple bar, an intermediate generally flat transition panel angled rearwardly and inwardly from the forward panel and having an opening therein for the temple bar, and a rearward generally flat panel extending rearward from the intermediate transition panel on the inside of the temple bar as the shield is applied to the bar. The rearward panel has a clip for clipping the rearward panel on the temple bar. The side shield further comprises an inwardly extending flange at a forward edge of the forward panel. The flange extends in front of the pair of glasses at the side thereof.
