Say I clobber contacts? (7)

I believe the answer is:

eyewear

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

'contacts?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'say i clobber' is the wordplay.
'say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'clobber' becomes 'wear' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i' sounds like 'eye'.
'eye'+'wear'='EYEWEAR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eyewear that I've seen before include "glasses" , "viewers' protection" , "reading aids" , "Eg, spectacles, contact lenses" .)
