Abstract
An optical face protection shield is provided having a support body, an optic lens, and an elongate heater. The support body has a user interface. The optic lens is carried by the support body over a user's face configured to protect a user. The elongate heater is carried by the optic lens so as to traverse an expansive surface area of the optic lens. The elongate heater has an elongate resistive heating element and an outer thermally transmissive, peak temperature mitigating, and an electrically insulative cover material encompassing the resistive heating element. A method is also provided.

Eyewear, comprising:
- a support body configured to be supported on a user;
- at least one lens carried by the support body and configured to hold the at least one lens over an eye facial region of a user;
- an elongate heating element carried by the support body proximate the at least one lens and configured to traverse an expansive surface area of the at least one lens;
- and
- a power supply carried by the support body and configured to power the elongate heating element.
Eyewear, comprising:
- a frame configured to be worn on a user;
- at least one lens carried by the frame and configured to hold the at least one lens over an eye facial region of a user;
- an elongate electrically resistive heating element carried in thermally transmissive, temperature mitigating, and electrically insulative relation relative to the lens and an environment about the lens and configured to extend across a portion of the at least one lens;
- and
- a battery power supply carried by the frame and configured to power the elongate resistive heating element.
