PSA for those with bad eyes
|
I have been struggling for quite a few years now with fine work. As my presbyopia has become worse, the combination of that + my lifelong myopia and astigmatism have resulted in a very narrow band of clear vision for close work. It was actually easier for me to remove my glasses and do anything fine like hemstitching or hand sewing. But this had the problem that if I needed to look up and do anything - like find a pin I dropped.or the thread to get a new length - I had to first find my glasses!? I’ve discussed a lot of things with the eye doctor over the years. Then, Janet Pray, in one of her Craftsy videos recommended an Optivisor. It seemed awfully bulky for something I’d use once in a while. But the same company (so good optical lenses) makes this magnifier that fits over one’s glasses. I bought the lowest magnification and have been using it. I just ordered the highest magnification. It doesn’t fit on my regular glasses because the lenses are too thick to accommodate their clip. But my computer distance glasses are perfect. Single focal length the whole lens is usable, and the magnifiers just flip out of the way and are very adjustable to the angle you need so you are looking through them. I can see very well to hemstitch normal threads but I’m not sure that it will work for much finer threads. Hence the higher magnifier. Plus it stays put unlike the ones around one’s next which move and flip. It is right in your line of sight. I am so thrilled! Jaya |

开云体育I’ve used the Opti-visor for a few years now. ? I saw Janet using it in one of her Craftsy classes. ? Love it. ?It is very comfortable. ?I forget I have it on and sometimes walk around the house with it. LolGlad you found something similar that’s working. ?Link?
