    Abstract: This invention is an eyeglass holder attachable to clothing, office and shop equipment, handbags, luggage, vehicles and personal transportation. Cooperating clip arms of three designs—straight, rounded and comb shape—close on or around the desired attach object. Alternately, a magnet can attach the eyeglass holder to a ferrous metallic surface, or an adhesive strip to a surface accepting such strips. A solid rigid loop integral with a clip arm suspends the eyeglasses by one of the temple pieces. With straight and rounded clip arms, a movable slider partition can be placed in the loop for a firmer grip on the temple piece. In addition, a metallic or plastic ornament can be placed next to the loop on a clip arm. This eyeglass holder stores and releases eyeglasses safely and speedily, and can be firmly attached to a variety of objects in an optimal way. It is portable, straightforward to use and attractive.
