A method and apparatus for preventing elevation of intraocular pressure during rest or sleep is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an eye covering device that is adapted to be comfortably worn during rest or sleep. The eye covering device bridges over the eyes and contacts the wearer's head along a nose bridge and an outer frame surrounding the eye sockets. When the wearer rolls onto his or her face during rest or sleep, pressure from an external object such as a pillow is imparted to the eye protection device rather than to the eyes. Accordingly, pressure on the eye during sleep is relieved.
