A significant problem for many people in this situation is removing their eyeglasses, placing them somewhere, and then forgetting where the eyeglasses were placed, thus not being able to find them.

Much time and effort is expended searching for lost eyeglasses, not to mention the replacement cost for glasses that are never found.

Additionally, eyeglasses may be broken if they are merely placed in a pocket or placed where they are exposed to the risk of damage.

Although there are presently cases available for eyeglasses, most lack means to be carried about on one's person, and thus are as susceptible to loss as the glasses themselves.

Furthermore, those eyeglass cases that do provide means for the user to carry them about—for example a belt clip—only have a compartment for the eyeglasses, forcing the user to keep other items in an additional purse or bag.
