Eye protection refers to protective clothing for the eyes, which comes in many types depending upon the threat that is to be reduced.

Safety glasses protect against flying debris but may also protect against visible and near visible light or radiation.

Sunglasses protect against high levels of visible and ultraviolet light. Welding glass is a more extreme implementation of the same idea, suited to the more intense light generated during welding; it can also be used to stare directly at the sun (i.e. to view a solar eclipse).
