Abstract
Abstract Two plies (20, 30) of crescent shaped material are placed in overlying relationship, with the plies being attached along their convex edges (21, 31). The concave edges (22, 32) remain unattached to each other, so that a pocket (29) is formed between the plies of material. Loops (41, 42) are formed at opposite edges of the convex edge of the plies of material. The limbs (14, 15) of eyeglasses can inserted through the loops so that the plies of material form a visor at the forehead of the wearer of the eyeglasses. In the alternative, the eyeglasses can be removed from the visor and inserted into the pocket, so that the plies of material form a case for the eyeglasses.
