Abstract
An apparatus for securing a tag to a pair of eyeglasses is disclosed. The apparatus includes a tag having a body and at least one prong extending longitudinally across the body so as to define an aperture between the body and the at least one prong and a tube constructed from a material which shrinks when subjected to heat. The prong and the temple piece are disposed within the tube and the tube is subjected to heat, thereby shrinking the tube to secure the prong to the temple piece of the eyeglasses.
