A combined eye and ear protective device has an eye protective portion and an
ear
protective portion, the eye protective portion and the ear protective portion being
functionally cooperating. The protective device utilizes the eye protective portion
of the device as the head support for the ear protective portion of the device
and configures the eye protective portion within a single piece of optically clear
material that reduces or eliminates the discontinuity between the lenses and frame
of conventional eyeglasses and provides for unimpeded peripheral vision. A one
piece polycarbonate resin eye protective portion is coupled with the ear protective
portion to allow the eye protective portion to move between a "down" position and
an "up" position.
