The pouch is provided with an eyeglass strap (21) with ends (20) capable of releasably attaching to the eyeglass arms (22) so that it is always available for use and cannot be lost. The two ends of the strap pass through holes (25) into the interior cavity (46) of the pouch, pass out the open end (48) of the pouch and are attached to the eyeglass arms. The pouch can slide along the strap to adjust the strap length for tensioning the eyeglasses to a one's head. A cover flap (30) is provided to fasten the pouch in its compact configuration or to close off the pouch opening. When the eyeglasses and strap are stored inside the pouch, the entire package can be worn on one's belt (50) from a loop (28) provided.
