sunglass
Tinted eye shield
A sunglass is a lens designed to protect the eyes from bright light.
The word appears almost exclusively in the plural—sunglasses—referring to eyewear with tinted or polarized lenses worn outdoors: She put on her sunglasses before stepping outside.
The singular form survives mainly in compound adjectives: sunglass lens, sunglass case.
