Abstract: A floatation device for eyeglass lanyards comprising a float member, a quick-release connector, and attachment means adapted for securing the connector to the float member while preferably allowing movement of one relative to the other. At least two such floatation devices are used with each eyeglass lanyard so that when the ends of the lanyard are secured to the earpieces of an eyeglasses frame worn by a user to form a closed loop, the float members will hang comfortably behind the user's neck or upper back until the eyeglasses are inadvertently separated from the user. If the eyeglasses land in water after separation from the user, the lanyard and float member or members will allow the eyeglasses to remain on or near the surface of the water where they can be easily retrieved. The preferred maximum size of each float member is approximately that of a current U.S. fifty-cent piece.
