Abstract
The present invention relates to goggles, preferably extra-orbital goggles, having an outer surface defined by a pair of lens portions each having an upper and a lower peripheral wall. The upper and lower peripheral walls extend to an upper and lower peripheral edge respectively which, in use, are in contact with the wearers face. The outer surface defined by the upper peripheral walls is convex. This contributes to a goggle outer surface which is a smooth curve.

Goggles having an outer surface defined by a pair of eye pieces, each having a lens portion and each having an upper and a lower peripheral wall extending from the lens portion to an upper and a lower peripheral edge, respectively, each of the upper and lower peripheral walls having an outer surface and an inner surface,
- wherein, in use, said peripheral edges are configured to be in contact with the wearer's face, each eye piece further comprising an inner peripheral wall extending substantially perpendicularly inwardly from its respective lens portion and terminating at an inner peripheral edge which is configured to form a seal against the wearer's face, each inner peripheral wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, and wherein a space is formed between the outer surface of each inner peripheral wall and the inner surfaces of each of the upper and lower peripheral walls, and
- wherein the outer surfaces of each of the upper and lower peripheral walls are convex and the outer surface of each eye piece from the upper peripheral edge to the lower peripheral edge through the upper peripheral wall, the lens portion and the lower peripheral wall, is a smooth continuous curve.
