Flies have facted eyes, those will not work very well so the about a snug fit I do not believe (http://img116.exs.cx/img116/6469/g5cgrin.gif)

Their eyes also wrap around to the sides and they nearly have 360 degree vision although it not very good.

I suspect its more about "look what we can make" rather than actually being useful.

The fly does look pretty cool with his shades on though.
