I tested it out with ice devils vs a risen oracle holding an eye shield and slapping a black plate helm on the ice devil dropped the eye loss from infrequently to very rarely. Buffing defense, MR, and body protection had no noticeable effect. I bet it's the fact that SCs generally have 15+ protection on their head that makes them virtually immune.

Granted, my sample set was small enough that I may be incorrect.
