Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to a sunglasses or eyeglasses holder. The holder generally includes a wine cork on a monofilament line. Ends of the line are secured in a crimp. Optionally, the ends may be sealed within a portion of a heat shrink wrap tube. The other end of the heat shrink wrap tube can be secured to the ends of glasses temples. In another example, monofilament line may be secured/crimped with respect to the glasses temple. The holder described herein provides a flotation feature due to the buoyancy of the wine cork. The holder described herein can also optionally be secured to a wearer's sunglasses by applying heat to the heat shrink wrap. Alternatively, the user may tie and crimp the holder it in place with respect to an existing hole in the glasses temple.
