Abstract

An eye shield device for covering, protecting, or obscuring an eye of a wearer of the eye shield device. The eye shield device may be worn in multiple configurations including a headband and over the ear versions. The eye shield device includes a cantilevered arm structure to project forward the mounting arm or portion for an eye shield. Some embodiments may include a cross-member arm to hold the eye shield or the eye shield may directly connect or project from a proximal end of the cantilevered arm. Some embodiments may include the eye shield device comprised of rigid, yet flexible, materials, such as polymer plastics, metals, alloys, or combinations of the same. Other embodiments may include a detachable eye shield to allow the wearer to customize their appearance. Other embodiments may include modular fixtures to allow the wearer to change the length of projection of the arm, crossmember arm, or headband or earpiece.
