Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for protecting eyes from radiation, in particular for protecting the lenses of the eyes of medical personnel from x-ray radiation or other ionizing radiation during medical examinations. The apparatus is easy to handle and ensures shielding of the eyes from x-ray radiation, but nonetheless offers the best working and viewing conditions for the wearer. This is achieved by a housing made of a shell-type frame, which encloses the eye area and laterally the temples of the wearer, and a support device for placement on the head and with a nose rest for positioning on the bridge of the nose. The frame includes a frontal opening, in which a shield opaque to x-ray radiation is fitted, and at least one video playback device is arranged on the rear side of the shield, facing toward the eyes, inside the frame, and being coupled to an optical recording device or a camera, which is arranged on the side of the shield that faces away from the wearer.

Abstract: Diving goggles with increased depth range includes a collapsible auxiliary air source chamber in fluid communication with the interior of the goggles. As the diver descends into the water depth, the outside pressure compresses the auxiliary chamber and forces some air out of that chamber and into the face chamber formed between the rigid portion of the goggles and the face of the diver. That additional compressed air when mixed with the compressed air inside the face chamber allows for relief of pressure from the user's eyes therefore avoiding eye strain and reduction in peripheral vision. The auxiliary chamber can be incorporated into the strap of the goggles and is attached to the rigid frame on both ends thereof. One or more collapsible leaf springs are placed inside the chamber to keep it open and in extended position while out of the water. Alternatively, the auxiliary chamber is made from a resilient material of such thickness as to ensure its extended shape once out of the water.

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.
