Low cost and portable safety side shields for safety eye glasses which substantially protect eyes from harm caused by projectiles impacting the eye through open areas between the wearer's head and the eye glass frames. The side shields have no conducting parts, are resistant to impact, shattering, and chemical corrosion, and are securely fastened to the ear pieces of the eye glasses by a stretchable tube. The side shields fit inside of the ear pieces without touching the eye glass wearers face, and overlap portions of the top, side and front of the lens frames to prevent latitudinal, longitudinal and rotational slippage that would expose the eyes. An alternative embodiment provides further eye protection by partially overlapping the front of the lens frames in the area of the eye glass hinges.
