Meaning and Origin:
An eye shade is a device worn over the eyes to shield them from sunlight or artificial light. It typically consists of a visor or brim attached to a band that fits around the head.
The origin of eye shades dates back centuries. In ancient times, people used cloth or leather strips to protect their eyes from the sun. Later, in the 18th and 19th centuries, formal eye shades were developed for use in theaters, opera houses, and other indoor settings where bright lights could be distracting.
Over time, the design and materials used to make eye shades have evolved. Today, they are commonly made of lightweight fabrics like silk, satin, or velvet and can come in a variety of colors and styles. They are used not only for protection from light but also for fashion accessories and to create a sense of privacy or relaxation.
