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?

LOL welcome to my world. i have a couple diff types of cheap magnifyin eye glasses as its different from wrapping to tying flies an tail hooks.There are several types of craft magnifyin visors out there but my head gets sore wearin them for a long time. Most drug dtores and dep stores all have them. Hope this helps.

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
