Abstract
A retention device for two pairs of eyeglasses. A pair of retaining bands connect the opposite temples of each of the eyeglasses, so that when a user dons one of the pairs of eyeglasses, the other hangs against their person, thereby being protected, secured and readily available. In an alternate embodiment, a neckband is used from which retaining bands extend to secure two eyeglasses.
