Answer:

The above answers are the reasons why, no sense in me repeating what they said. Just wanted to respond to Spartan's image, Holy ****!!!
Because even if your gun does not catastrophically fail, you really don't want a brass casing that was just ejected from a hot barrel to contact your eye. Burned corneas aren't fun.
It's to protect your eyes from such hazards as catastrophic failure of the firearm, and other odds and ends that can fly about. But, yeah. Getting splinters of gun in your eye isn't fun. Getting it in your face isn't fun either, but your face doesn't require as delicate of care to restore to full functionality afterwards. Well, at least if you have a face like mine. See pictures below (of the aftermath of catastrophic failure, not my face): Edit: One note re flying hot brass and protecting from it: ladies, do not wear low-cut tops to the range. Never ceases to amaze me how those things attract flying cartridge cases.
Sometimes unburned, burning, or burned power is ejected from a normally functioning firearm. Sometimes firearms fail and chunks can be ejected. Glasses or goggles can eliminate the minimize the damage from those. Supposedly the poly-carbonate lenses will stop a .22 lr. I have never tried it. Then next time I have a scratched up pair of glasses, I may put them on a wig head and see what a .22 lr will do to them.
Opening limitation, may come from joint or muscular, articulate. Medication only takes away the pain symptoms, not the cause. Bruxism worsens these symptoms.
