Abstract: The eyeglass retainer comprises a pair of elastic tubes, to each of those which each of the temples of eyeglasses is forcibly inserted, a pair of wire members each connected to the corresponding elastic tube, and a pair of piece members each fixed to the corresponding end of the wire member; wherein each of the wire members is slidably inserted through the corresponding piece member at the middle position of the wire member with intervention of given sliding frictional force, the tubes made of elastic synthetic resin, through those which the wire members are slidably inserted with intervention of given frictional force, are embedded inside the piece members, respectively, and the wire members and the tubes made of elastic synthetic resin are interactively configured such that the tensile force to be generated when pulling the pair of piece members adapted to slide against the wire members.
