It protects sensitive seer's audience from a mobile phone fix? (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

eye patch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it protects sensitive seer's audience' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'a mobile phone fix?' is the wordplay.
'a mobile phone' becomes 'eye' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fix?' becomes 'patch' (patching is a kind of fixing).
'eye'+'patch'='EYE-PATCH'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eye patch that I've seen before include "Cover for injury" , "one pirate typically wore?" .)
