Yes Mike,,, I've got one similar to that. Having to keep swinging it back and forth, up and down is a PITA.
I'm thinking the visor type may be more accommodating
See ya this week, hey?

maddog2020 01-18-2015, 12:33 PM OptiVISOR - jewelers use them. Solid quality - not junk.
Guppy 04-02-2015, 04:46 PM Yes Dog,, They are, tanks
FYI
been using the Harbor Freight $6 for a while, really good for the money, but, found myself still straining
Got the Orvis with glass lense , much better for me. Down side about 25 bucks more ,,, dah
