Abstract: A new Animal Eye Protecting System for protecting an animal's eyes after medical treatment thereby expediting recovery while simultaneously preventing infections within the eyes. The inventive device includes a shield having a hexagonal cross-section, an end member secured to an end of the shield having a cutout for engaging a bridge of the animal's nose, an adjustable chin strap, a first neck strap, and a second neck strap secured to the shield. A plurality of snap-buttons are secured to the shield and the straps for allowing adjustment of the present invention to various sizes of animals. The shield may be tinted thereby reducing the amount of light reaching the animal's sensitive eyes. When the shield is attached to the animal's head and neck, the animal is unable to scratch their eyes.
