Abstract: Warship maintenance is one of the regular work of the crew. Eye trauma and paint poisoning occur occasionally，during rust removal and touch-up painting. At present，the labor protection equipment for daily use is bulky and uncomfortable to wear. The number of newly enlisted crew with myopia or history of refractive surgery has been increasing in recent years. The currently used goggles of protective masks have no refractive function，which leads to poor wearing compliance of the crew with the protective equipment at work. We，therefore，developed a new type of eye-respiratory tract protective mask for naval ship crew. The mask is mainly composed of goggles，oronasal mask，filter tank，and fixed device. The lenses are high impact resistant and refractive，and the pupil distance is adjustable. The mask is lightweight and has standardized inlet valve. It can be worn as a whole or separately.
