Abstract: A protective cover for eyeglasses is comprised of flexible material that can be folded into a compact configuration suitable for storage within a pouch. The pouch is either integrally formed within a strap for retaining eyeglasses about one's neck or is provided with rings for attachment to the strap or portions of an eyeglass frame. The flexible material comprising a cover body of the invention is tethered by a cord to the inside of the pouch so that it cannot be lost. The flexible cover body is stretchable to envelope the lens portion of eyeglasses and includes a hem around an opening in the cover body through which eyeglasses are inserted for protection therein. This hem includes an elastic band which tends to draw the cover body snugly about the eyeglass lenses.
