Yeah, that does look quite useful, and with quite a good selection of lenses, but I think I'll stick to my old one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10X-Magni...-/322888501891 It has three lens options built in AND it allows me to leave my reading glasses in place for when the magnifier is flipped up out of the way. This one appears to rest on the nose, so normal spectacles would need to be removed, but it does look more comfortable than the headband type.

This one works fine over my glasses.

I've just seen the same one on eBay (UK) Seems they are a tad cheaper over here. I haven't looked at Amazon (UK).

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Headband-....c100005.m1851

OK, so it's gotta come from Hong Kong, but it is post free.

That looks great! Ordered one for myself.
My wife used to make fun of me when I'd be reading or working on one project or another. She's just now been proscribed bifocals and it's not so funny anymore. Getting old ain't for sissies.

I have been using mine now for about a week and it is really great. I added some nose bridge padding and it really works well.

Thumbs up

Received mine a couple of days ago. Seems to be of good quality and functionality. I like that it fits comfortably over my eye glasses. The quality of the lenses is surprising. They are not some cheap, thin plastic things.

I also got an opti visor recently. The flimsy thing fell apart at the visor pivcots in about 20 minutes. I got a refund from Jeff Bezos at the big "A". It is a shame the opti visor brand used to be really good.
