eye cups

Small washing vessels

Eye cups are small cup-shaped devices designed to fit over the eye, used for washing the eye with liquid or applying medication.

They also refer to the rubber or plastic cups on binoculars and microscopes that rest against the eye socket, blocking stray light and positioning the eye at the correct distance from the lens.
