Buying Guide: Eyeglass Cords and Retainers

Stainless Steel Eyeglass Cords
The stainless steel cable cord is made of lightweight stainless steel and is designed to stay free of sweat, odor and dirt. It has flat, low-profile temples and a universal temple design for large and small frames. It is a good choice if you want a cord that stays comfortable off the neck.

Cotton Eyewear Retainers
The cotton retainer is 100% cotton and fully adjustable with a bead. It is sold as an assorted pack of 12. The brand positions it for activities on water, land, snow or in the air.

Choosing Between Them
Compare the temple style and frame size before you order a cord. Check that the retainer adjusts to your frame style, and measure your frames if you are unsure. Match the product to how and where you wear your glasses.
