| Abstract: |
A form of eye protection intended for use in protecting the eyes of a dental patient against foreign particles and contaminants basically includes a frame, a shield supported by the frame, and a strap for securing the frame in a desired position on a wearer's head. The eye protection device is structured and configured to conform to the contours of the wearer's nose and cheeks so as to form a contact seal between the eye protection device and the wearer's face. The eye protection device is further structured and configured to be angularly positionable relative to the wearer's face so as to remain spaced from the wearer's forehead and thus, preclude foreign particles and contaminants from entering the wearer's eyes.
