Abstract
An eyewear protector and wrist wrap used with conventional eyeglasses, sunglasses, or eyewear in general, which can hold eyewear of varying size and shape and is made of a soft stretchable material. The device construction prevents the temple pieces of the eyewear from coming into contact with the interior surface of the lenses. An elastic drawstring assures that the eyewear be contained within the device and allows for the entire package to be hung from a wrist or from a pant belt loop. The device can be folded and with the aid of a strap having a fastener at one end which can engage with a fastener on the device, can be worn on a wrist as a wrist wrap. The device can be produced in countless colors and have logo labels or any matter of design placed onto it which is visible during both functions.
