Abstract
A carrying case for eyeglasses comprises a substantially cylindrical capsule including releasably connected first and second capsule sections, and a carrying strap on one of the capsule sections. The capsule is dimensioned for receiving and containing a pair of eyeglasses so that the eyeglasses are prevented from moving significant amounts either laterally or longitudinally therein and as a result the lenses of the eyeglasses are prevented from contacting the inner wall of the capsule. The capsule is preferably further constructed so that it is waterproof and so that it has sufficient buoyancy to cause the case to float on water, even when a pair of eyeglasses is contained in the capsule.
