eyewear

Glasses and contacts

Eyewear is glasses, sunglasses, goggles, or other devices worn over the eyes.

The term is common in retail and fashion contexts: The store's eyewear section includes designer frames.

It functions as a category label rather than something people say in casual speech—you'd say glasses or sunglasses, not eyewear.
