A padded glasses clip apparatus for preventing misplacement or damage to glasses includes a clip body comprising an upper clip and a lower clip pivoting on a pivot rod between a closed position and an open position. A torsion spring is coupled to the pivot rod and engages a clip inner side of each of the upper clip and the lower clip to bias the clip body towards the closed position. A pair of pads includes an upper pad and a lower pad coupled to the clip inner side of the upper clip and the lower clip, respectively. Each pad extends between the pair of pivot ears and the grip portion. The pair of pads safely secures a pair of arms of a pair of glasses.
