If you wear glasses, a clip-on magnifier works great. Comes in many strengths, and you don't feel like you're working in a tunnel.

Just an example:

+1 for Optivisor


This has worked quite well for me. 


You might also consider your lighting as well - I use an Ott-Lite which mimics sun light as well.

Try optimiser, they have about 6 different lenses and are quite comfortable.🙂

Hello friends,
i would like to ask you, what kind of optical tools you use.


I´m old and my eyes are too....:-).
I use magnifying glasses with a max. magnification of 3, which is too little for me to paint faces, for example.
Does anyone use optical tools with a higher magnification an what kind is that?


Thanks and regards from Franconia
