Default What is the silver disc shaped eye piece thing a doctor wears called?

I need to know what the silver disc shaped eye piece thing that a doctor wears on a headband is called, and I can't seem to find it on the internet. I figured one of you guys would know. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

We always call it the silver disc-shaped eye-piece thingee.

I actually don't remember ever seeing anyone wear one. (Except maybe dentists?) However, I can now think of multiple situations where it would come in pretty damn handy.
