ABSTRACT:
An eyewear retention device is disclosed that includes a length of resilient cord, such as cabling having a smooth plastic outer sheath, and terminating at each end in a tapered, rubberized retention tubing, and including retention end grommets molded against the ends of the cabling to prevent the slipping off of the retention tubing from the cabling. The combination of the resilient cord and the retention tubing produces a tensioned arc such that in addition to retaining eyeglasses to the vestment of a user when not in use, the retention device forms a suspended arc over the wear's upper torso such that the device does not contact the wear's upper torso or their vestment when donned over a wear's eyes.
