Check Office Depot. I got a magnifying lamp there that works really
well for me, and it was under $30. They sometimes have sales, and if
you get on their email list, they send you coupons.

I have a mini Anglepoise style lamp that uses a small halogen reflector
bulb (35w), gives a very bright light, and has the added benefit that it's
also quite warming for the hands! I also have a pair of old prescription
reading glasses which I use with a clip-on magnifying lens. It means I have
to move everything up close to focus sharply, but I can't stitch or do any
detail work without them.

I doubt it. I've been hard-of-seeing since I was a little yipper
anyhow.
