TLDR: face concealing masks shouldnt cover eye protection eyewear
at the moment, there are two antags that specifically require your victims to not have eye protection (namely, Revs, and Vampires). If your intended victim is wearing a mask which can conceal identity (clown mask, horse mask, many space helmets, paper mask, gas mask... the list goes on) the only way to find out if your target has eye protection is to get adjacent to them and show inventory. Naturally, the nerds who rush sunnies and gas masks every round avoid having people they dont know standing next to them at all costs.
Its one thing knowing not to try and revflash / vamp glare someone who is wearing eye protection. this is a classic new player trap. its another entirely to not be able to recognise threats or targets at a distance due to something that can be worn without consequence (bar some overeager secoff doing a mask check because they have nothing better to do)
My proposal would be that either eyewear cannot be worn over anything that completely obscures your face. trying to do so would just give you a "this does not fit over your eyewear" message, Alternatively, make sunglasses / sechuds etc appear over any masks worn (which seems more realistic anyway, how are you gonna put a gas mask on over a pair of sunglasses and not ruin them / the bridge of your nose.)
This would encourage use of eye implants which could be worn under glasses, if people want to turbonerd the self surgery and pony up the materials / credits to purchase them.
(As a side note, as I am unsure if they currently do or do not with headsets being hidden, but any total ear protection items (ear muffs, yeti muffs) should also appear over headwear / masks in a similar fashion)
