Abstract: A system for removably securing eyeglasses to a head of a person may include a cap with a pair of passages each extending along a different side of the cap. The cap may have a pair of forward apertures and a pair of rearward apertures. Each passage extends between a forward and a rearward aperture on a side of the cap. A retaining assembly for eyeglasses may include a pair of straps with each strap having a medial portion in one of the passages, a first portion extending through the forward aperture, and a second portion extending through the rearward aperture. A first end of a strap may be configured for attaching to the eyeglasses; and a second end of a strap may be attached to the second end of the other strap.
