Protective eyewear (7)
I believe the answer is:
goggles
'protective eyewear' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for goggles that I've seen before include "Stares open-eyed, with special specs" , "Tight-fitting spectacles worn for protection" , "Swimmer's glasses?" , "Spectacles worn to protect the eyes" , "Protective spectacles" .)
