Abstract
A belt case for a pair of eyeglasses is formed from a rigid and durable plastic for protecting the eyeglasses from damage. The case consists of front and rear rigid body sections which are receivable in interfitting engagement so that they cooperate to define an interior eyeglass compartment. The compartment is operative for retaining a pair of eyeglasses as well as a spare lens for the eyeglasses, and is further operative for individually retaining either the eyeglasses or the spare lens. The case is adapted to be mounted vertically on a wearer's belt and hingeably opened at the top end thereof to remove the eyeglasses and the spare lens. Both the spare lens and the eyeglasses are firmly retained in the case so that the lenses do not contact any interior surfaces of the case. The case also firmly retains the spare lens and eyeglasses so that they are not easily dislodged when the case is subjected to physical impacts.
