Claim Text:
1. Goggles configured to eliminate peripheral vision of a user and enhance situational awareness while increasing muscle memory, the goggles comprising: a goggle frame shaped to extend around eyes of a user, extending in a horizontal direction between left and right portions and extending vertically between upper and lower portions, the goggle frame supporting a left side blinder and a right side blinder; the left side blinder extending from the left portion toward the right portion and terminating at a vertical edge positioned so as to be aligned approximately with a center of a user's left eye when worn by the user and to thereby obscure approximately a left visual hemifield of the left eye, the vertical edge of the left side blinder comprising a left rib extending from the upper portion to the lower portion and extending inwardly from an outer surface past an inner surface of the left side blinder to thereby increase mechanical rigidity of the left side blinder; the right side blinder extending from the right portion toward the left portion and terminating at a vertical edge positioned so as to be aligned approximately with a center of a user's right eye when worn by the user and thereby obscure approximately a right visual hemifield of the right eye, the vertical edge of the right side blinder comprising a right rib extending from the upper portion to the lower portion and extending inwardly from an outer surface past an inner surface of the right side blinder to thereby increase mechanical rigidity of the right side blinder; where the goggle frame is further mechanically coupled to a wearing component; wherein the goggles do not have any visual obstruction in a central area of the goggles between the left and right vertical edges and between the upper and lower portions, giving the user an unobstructed binocular field of vision through the central area of the goggles.
