After looking in every outdoors shop in town and not finding what I was looking for I stumbled on it at the local Target store.  Glasses straps with built in floatation.  I tried them out in the sink and they floated my glasses.  They can be tightened up like a regular glasses strap also.  My only concern is that they don't seem to stay on the glasses extremely tight.  I think when I go on a long trip or if I intend to be in the water a lot I'll take a couple of zip ties and cinch them to the frames.  I might try a strap from the glasses to my PFD also, I hadn't thought of that.
