I claim:
1. An eyeglass retention device comprising
- a pair of tethers, each tether having an upper edge, and an attachment mechanism including a hole near the upper edge for receiving an eyeglass temple, and
- each tether having an elastomeric traction portion descending from the hole of the attachment mechanism, wherein a front-to-back direction is defined parallel to an axis that threads the center of the hole, the traction portion being freely yielding in the front-to-back direction so that the tether can grip by friction a wearer's back ear region without concentrating significant forward pressure behind the wearer's ear.
