Abstract
A shade for protection of the lower part of a face, formed from a sheet of plastics material and folded so that the shade can when supported by conventional spectacles shade the temples, cheeks and nose areas. The shade has side apertures to allow for spectacle arms to pass through and be adjustably supported in relative height by the spectacles. The shade has a central nose protector with a clip to engage over the bridge of spectacles so as to hold the two parts together.
