What does "oeilleres" mean? (French)

[Memo]

Does anyone know what the word 'oeilleres' means, in French? Couldn't find any info on it but many webpages that have it. Google translation won't translate it either. I'm listening to The Arcade Fire album and they use it on there. I'm guessing it has something to do with the eyes?

:thumbup:

It means "blinders" or "having blinders on."

The lack of the accent grave threw off your search. It's spelled "oeillères."

Obby, you never cease to amaze me ;). Any carabiner, thanks for he confirmation. I was always bad at putting the accents in French.
