What is visor?

A visor is like a special shield that helps protect your eyes when you’re doing something fun or tough.

Imagine you're playing outside on a sunny day and you don’t have sunglasses, the light can be too bright, making it hard to see. A visor works kind of like a mini umbrella for your face. It sits on top of your head and covers your eyes a little bit, blocking some of that bright light so you can see better.

How it helps

When people wear a visor, especially when they’re doing sports or working outside, it’s like giving their eyes a break from the sun. It's similar to how a hat might protect your face on a hot day, but instead of just covering your head, a visor focuses more on helping you see clearly.

Some visors are even attached to helmets, like the ones firefighters or cyclists wear. That way, they get both protection and clear vision all in one go!

Visors can be made from different materials, sometimes they’re soft and bendy, other times they're hard and shiny. But no matter what kind they are, their main job is to help you see better when things get too bright!
