Eyeglass retainer with extension

An eyeglass retainer system for use with eyeglasses worn by a user and having a frame front includes a pair of eyeglass temples. Each temple has a first end for securing the temple to frame front and defines a first channel passing therethrough that terminates in a first stopping mechanism. Extendable coupling units are slidably disposed in the first channels and terminate in a first stopper that is configured to engage the first stopping mechanism so as to prevent it from exiting the first channel completely. Two magnetic connectors are each affixed to a different one of the extendable coupling units and have opposite polarities so as to attract each other when placed against to each other. The coupling units are slid out of the first channel so that the two magnetic connectors can be coupled to each other behind the user's head so as to retain the eyeglasses.
