Abstract: A device for cleaning eyeglasses wherein a soft, nonabrasive cleaning cloth can be easily stored in, and removed from, an elongated storage container. A retaining cord is attached near the center of the cloth. The cord extends through the main aperture of the storage container, passes through a small hole at the end of the container opposite the aperture, and is terminated with a stopper bead. The cloth is easily retracted into the storage container by pulling on the cord at the stopper bead end. The cloth is of of such dimensions that when it is fully retracted into the storage container a short tail extends through the aperture. The cloth is removed by pulling on the tail. The stopper bead can be a cap for the aperture or act to latch a hinged lid for the aperture.
