Eyewear

Abstract

Protective eyewear, for example swimming goggles, is known to possess a nose bridge. Known adjustment mechanisms for the nose bridge either require a mechanism that cannot be adjusted in situ, i.e. when the goggles are in use, and so is inconvenient, or that does not reliably maintain the eyepieces over the eyes of a wearer, for example when the wearer dives into water. The present invention therefore provides eyewear (100) comprising a first eyepiece (102) and a second eyepiece (104). The first eyepiece (102) is coupled to the second eyepiece (104) by a cord (114). At least one of the first and second eyepieces (102, 104) is translatable, when in use, relative to the cord (114) upon overcoming a translation resisting force.
