Means for holding prescription eyeglasses with the ear pieces removed in a conventional scuba mask in which the scuba mask comprises hood or body portion and a transparent wall surface at the front thereof. The means comprising a member which has a bottom portion and spaced side portions with the spaced side portions each terminating in a hooking end. The member when inserted in the scuba mask is positioned so that the bottom portion is adjacent the bottom of the hood and the opposite sides of the member are positioned adjacent the sides of the mask all adjacent the front transparent wall surface, with the upper portions of the sides of the member turned rearwardly and downwardly inside the mask and with the hooking ends engaging the frame of the eyeglasses to hold the frame in spaced relation to the front transparent wall surface of the scuba mask, so that when the scuba mask is applied to a person's face, the nose piece of the frame of the glasses will rest on the person's nose so that the person may view through said lenses and through the transparent front wall surface of the mask. The prescription eyeglasses when removed from the scuba mask may be worn in the conventional manner by reattaching the ear pieces thereto.
