I'm thinking the visor type may be more accommodating
See ya this week, hey? |

OptiVISOR - jewelers use them. Solid quality - not junk.

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
