| Abstract: |
A device for partially masking the vision of a wearer to aid in training of the wearer as, for example, in dribbling a basketball without visually monitoring the same. The device includes a nosepiece integrally formed with and joining a pair of shields both of which have a U-shaped cut therein so that a wearer will have unimpaired straight-ahead vision but will have downward vision precluded when the device is in place on the head of a wearer and held in position by a band.
