Surprisingly, many EYE injuries (in seniors) are the result of
falling and striking the eye on something.

I almost did that a few months ago. In the dark I hit the corner of a
kitchen cabinet door right above my eye. Down an inch...

+1 The brim is the problem. When I was a FF we used the newer style helmet
which didn't have much of a front brim but the face shield would pivot up
and one could still see. The problem was with the SCBA. couldn't see much
peripherally. Now thermal imaging cameras work wonders.
