Yeah, well, they always told us it'd make us go blind - they just
never told us *when*...

Sunny, do some checking on the "Mag-eyes". You may find them at a
lower price in a hobby or jewelry shop as "Optivisors". DH has one for
working on jewelry and such. Same product, different name, different

Has anyone ever tried this one from Ott?

I'm curious about it too.
Sunny, for the meantime, I did buy a cheap pair of "reader" glasses, a
bit
stronger than my regular prescription lenses. They work pretty well. I
use
them especially for hand quilting. That, along with a good full-
spectrum
lamp works pretty well.

I saw reading glasses at "The Dollar Tree" for $1 a pair and bought a few in
different strengths for use in reading, embroidery, sewing at the SM, and to
have "extras". I leave the little sticker on to tell what the strength is.
They never stay where I remember putting them last!

I use the magnifier attached to my Ott table top lamp. While it's not
necessary for actually 'seeing', I do find that my work is much better
when I use it.
