Eyewear consists of items and accessories worn on or over the
eyes, for fashion or adornment, protection against the environment, and to improve or enhance visual acuity.
Common forms of eyewear include
glasses (also called ''eyeglasses'' or ''spectacles''),
sunglasses, and
contact lenses. Eyewear can also include more utilitarian forms of
eye protection, such as
goggles. Conversely,
blindfolds are a form of eyewear used to ''block'' vision for a variety of purposes.
