Abstract
Apparatus for supporting and receiving a pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses. The eyeglass or sunglass holder has adjustments which allow it to be removably mounted by suction cups onto any nonporous surface and at any angle. The eyeglass holder has a feature enabling it to receive and secure a pair of eyeglasses vertically by supporting the bridge rather than the rims. The rims of eyeglasses stabilize the eyeglass against any lateral forces by the triangular design of the eyeglass brace.
