Abstract

An eyeshade ( 10 ) includes a head band ( 12 ) and two eye covers ( 20 ). The head band ( 12 ) includes a middle section ( 14 ), an end section ( 15 ) horizontally extending from the middle section ( 14 ), and at least three first hook-and-loop straps ( 142 ). Two of the three first hook-and-loop straps ( 142 ) are arranged on an inner surface ( 141 ) of the middle section ( 14 ). Each eye cover ( 20 ) includes an inner pad ( 22 ) and a covering portion ( 24 ). Each inner pad ( 22 ) includes an inner pad outer surface ( 221 ) and a depression ( 222 ). The covering portion ( 24 ) includes a cavity ( 241 ) corresponding to the depression ( 222 ) and includes a second hook-and-loop strap ( 242 ). Each of the second hook-and-loop straps ( 242 ) is removably attached to the corresponding first hook-and-loop strap ( 142 ). The eyeshade ( 10 ) has modular replaceable eye covers ( 20 ) which can be quickly attached to head band ( 12 ) to provide various functions as required.
