Abstract
An eyewear retainer for glasses, in which braided tubular sleeves with bonded terminal ends hold onto the temple piece of the glasses. The eyewear retainer consists of two braided tubular sleeves, with at least one of the terminal ends of each sleeve ending in a plurality of terminal ends of the braided strings or ribbons. The two braided tubular sleeves may be connected via a continuous braid or used with another intermediary component. The length of the device is selected for comfortable use and may be adjusted during use. In a preferred embodiment, the bonding of the terminal ends is accomplished, via a silicone-based epoxy to provide a flexible and tacky bond, which allows a more secure hold.
