Abstract

An eye protection device in one embodiment composed of a foam rubber-like member having a front portion, first and second side portions, and first and second apertures therein for receipt of the lenses and frame of a pair of eyeglasses with the side earpieces of the pair of eyeglasses being passed through the first and second apertures in the first and second side portions. When worn, the foam rubber-like member is compressed against the wearer's face to create a seal between the device and the user's face. The foam rubber-like member can be adhered in a second embodiment to the rear of an outer shell having a front portion, first and second side portions, and first and second apertures defined in the front portion which first and second apertures of the outer shell are in alignment, respectively, with the first and second apertures in the foam rubber-like member; and the first and second side portions of the insert member are in alignment, respectively, with the first and second side portions of the foam rubber-like member to form a sturdy, eye protection device.
