Here is what I use, the Bausch and Lomb Magna Visor:



I got it on Amazon for about $35, and use it with the medium distance lenses.




Ohhh! Birthday gift item here I go...

I went to my Optometrist and had a pair of glasses made just for modeling.

There is a novel idea....would share the name of the optics and any photos?

Appears to be a great value.
Just ordered a pair of these.
I've got an Optivisor, mag glasses, mag glasses with flip ups but these look like I could use them over my reg glasses so I'm willing to give them a try, especially for the lost cost...really cheap from PapaJohn's Toolbox. Should arrive by the weekend.
Will let you know if they're worth it or not.

Gary, I use them over my glasses all the time.
Their frame is light weight, and sits behind my normal glasses.
A little awkward to get use to at first, but after a while you don't even notice them.

Thanks Dave,
Sounds like they should work great.
Sure can't beat the price.
Was checking some other values at PapaJohn's Toolbox...some good deals on a variety of kool tools.
Thanks for letting us know about it.
