DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Preferably, the substantially flat surface is rectangular in surface area, the plane of which is roughly tangential to the back portion of the spectacle holder.
Preferably, the upper clasp ("clasp") is a cylindrical tube-like portion, or partial cylindrical tube-like portion, which is located at one end of the spectacle holder.
Conveniently, the clasp as a partial cylindrical tube-like portion in one embodiment of the invention, enables ease of insertion and removal of the spectacles from the holder.
