Abstract: The improved eye protectors of the present invention comprise a pair of eye cups, and a transparent readily heat remoldable bridge releasably connected to the cups. The bridge can be shaped to fit nose bridges of various sizes and shapes, and can be regulated to adjust the spacing of the cups to accommodate various eye distances. The cups are generally hemispherical and either opaque or transparent and tinted to protect the eyes from both sun and wind. One form of eye cup is cut away on a lower portion to form a sun shade over the eye, or upon reversal, to form a mini eye protector. Another form of the protector is transparent, has a head strap for use by skiers, etc., as a form of goggles. The protectors are simple, inexpensive and durable, with a variety of novel characteristics and uses, providing various forms of eye shading and protection while allowing tanning through the nose bridge and the head strap. Metallic plating of the cups keeps the cups cool when used in the direct sun.
