Vision Aid Expert Edition Magnifying Glasses with USB Rechargeable LED Light and Storage Case Hands Free Head Magnifier for Hobby Painting Close Work

These magnifying glasses were exactly what I needed. I love working on cross stitch and embroidery, but with 50-something very nearsighted eyes, my strong eyeglasses prescription (-10.0) makes things so small that the progressive lenses aren’t enough for doing needlework. I was wearing drugstore readers on top of my glasses, plus a lighted magnifier that hung awkwardly around my neck, and still found myself looking around them all to use my near vision. The Vision Aid magnifying glasses are perfect. I can wear them with my prescription glasses. I used both the ear pieces and the headband, both work fine. I opted for the headband since the earpieces pulled my hair a little when I took them off. The nose piece is adjustable and there are extra pads included. The angle of the light and lenses are adjustable. No neck strain, the magnification was right where I needed it. The light could be a little brighter, but it was fine for my needs. The lenses are clear, no distortion. I used the second of five strengths for cross stitch. They would be helpful for taking out splinters or hunting head lice as well. I’m thankful for the case to keep everything together and protect the lenses. After wearing them for over 3 hours, there was a little pressure on my temples, but they were comfortable for a long stretch. These are going to be fantastically useful.

These magnifiers are great! I use them for drawing and painting very small details… they’ve really helped me improve, especially features on the teeniest of faces… both people and creatures. There’s a nice selection of clear magnifications. Very useful for a variety of projects… not just art. I’ve had my set for over a year and am just now having to recharge the lights. The lights are small but bright enough to be helpful. I mostly use my art lamps but the extra lighting for tiny detail work is nice. Lenses are sturdy, no nicks or scratches. Frames are well made and also sturdy, no breakage and screws haven’t come loose. The case is useful for carrying with me… still looks new. It’s sturdy, keeps everything together so nothing gets lost and everything remains protected. I’m very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend this brand. The delivery was quick without any issues.

Very well built. Really helps my old eyes with reading and hobbies. Threading a needle is a breeze. So comfortable I can wear them for hours. Being able to flip up the lenses means I don't have to take them off and on. I removed the arms and the nose piece because I wear glasses and just use the headband. Having 5 magnifications is a big bonus. The case keeps everything organized and safe. Just a note: to remove the arms push the button down closest to the arm so it can slide out.

I am a 67 year old glasses wearer and I am frequently working with small electronic devices (e.g. printed circuit boards, small surface mount components, and soldering irons). As I have aged, working with small parts and assemblies has become more difficult. To that end, I have resorted to frequently removing my glasses and getting my face close to the work in order to see the detail I need. I recently decided to see if there was a solution that would fit my needs. I quickly found very high priced and high quality magnifiers from the likes of Craft Optics, but just could not justify the cost (~$500-~$800). I did some quick searching and came upon these Vision Aid devices. They offer a great deal of functionality and provide for changeable magnifications via snap on lenses. They also provide for a light source and have a good deal of adjustability. The price was very reasonable and I decided to give them a try. They are quite well made given the cost and while the optics are not top of the line ala' Craft, they are better than I expected. After removing the nose piece, they are quite comfortable. In use , the working distance varies with the magnification (higher power requires closer working distance). For my use, I settled on the 2.5X lens, but its great to be able to snap in a different power as needed. My one gripe is that the snap on clip for the lenses is not very firm or secure. It easy to knock it out of place. I may try making some mods to fix that. The LED lamp worked better that I expected and it too is quite adjustable. Also of note is that the company sells replacement parts (e.g. lenses) on their web site. This is great as I'm sure down the road, I'll want to replace the lenses as they get scratched with use. During my initial using, I was finding that I had some double vision issues. I contacted the company via their web site and received a prompt response with instructions to try moving the lens closer to my glasses. They also offered to allow me to return for a refund if I could not make them work for me. That's great support! The suggestion to move the lens closer worked well for me and I am keeping them. All in all, a great product.

Very comfortable and can be worn with glasses. Love the different lens that clip into place. I'm a modeler building models for the CAF museum and detail is very important to me. These help a lot to see small details and can be worn for long periods of time. The led light has 2 settings, I use the elastic strap since I wear glasses. Very happy with this setup.

I bought the Vision Aid Expert Edition Magnifying Glasses for cross-stitching since my vision isn't what it used to be, and these have been a game change. The LED light and magnification were important features for me, and I also needed something that wouldn't get in the way of my stitching - so the around-the neck style wasn't an option. These glasses work perfectly over the top of my regular glasses with no issues at all. I also love that they come with multiple power levels, so I can switch lenses depending on the detail I'm working on. for anyone who does small, detailed, or close-up work and needs a comfortable, hands-free solution, I would definitely recommend these magnifying glasses.

Magnification and light are great! Comfort leaves a LOT to be desired! The nose piece is hard and unbearable. So I tightened the head strap to keep the head lamp in place and bent the nose piece away from the bridge of my nose. The result is that the head piece digs into my head, but I can handle that better than the torturous nose piece. Two suggestions, a more comfortable nose piece and pad the head piece better so the plastic frame doesn’t dig into the forehead.

Purchased this for working on cross stitch projects with 18 stitches to the inch - seriously tiny, made more difficult by inadequate lighting in my favorite stitching chair. I wear glasses, so I use the headband rather than the over the ear legs. As others have mentioned, the nose piece can be uncomfortable and because I have to position the gadget so it perches further down my nose then my glasses, it can be a bit awkward. However, when I’ve got it properly situated, I can stitch at a normal position where without the gadget, the only way to see the tiny stitches was to remove my glasses and hold the whole project up very close to my nearsighted eyes. Of late, I’m learning how to do my own gel manicures at home. One big issue I’ve had was taking the gel right up to the very edges of nail margins and the cuticle, without getting too much stuff to ooze out and touch living skin. To clearly see this very fine line between nail and skin, like my needlework I removed my glasses and held the finger being worked on, right up to my face. I decided to try using this gadget for manicures and wow! It really helps me to not flood the cuticles and keep gel off my skin, because I can more easily see the fine details clearly. The rechargeable battery does indeed work for several hours at a time before needing a recharge. You might need to tinker with fit adjustments, but you will find what works best for you. Highly recommended - wish I had purchased these years ago!

This an excellent head mounted magnifier system. I am blown away with quality of design, build and ease of use. I purchased the upgraded model with the USB battery. The battery charges very quickly and the LED light which has two settings which work very well. I read some reviews that mentioned the weight of the unit and a dislike of the nose support. I was a bit concerned when I read them but decided to try the product anyway. I can honestly say from my perspective the unit is light and the nose support is not an issue. I can locate the nose support behind my glasses without any difficulty. I am still experimenting with using them. I may slide my glasses down my nose to get the top part of my varifocals to work better but I don’t think I will have to do this. Either way is not an issue to me. The light and lens holder have a high range of application. For my vision I am pointing the light down more or less as far as it goes and then I line up the lenses but they also work well in other positions. I am sure that you will find a setup which suits you. The lenses are of a high quality and very clear. There is a very good selection of lenses, enough for various applications and they are easy to fit into the headset. They are stored in a good box so no excuses for scratching lenses. My only negative comment is that the very handy carrying case does not have profiling to support the unit however, his a minor point for me. I will use the plastic insert that it came with but to be honest it is a bit flimsy. There is an elastic headband which unfortunately is to small for my head even fully expanded. To be clear I am very happy with the normal legs as fitted. If you do want to use the headband and have a large head it would not be too difficult to make one. I should say that I know I have a large head size which can be a problem for me when selecting a hats. So you might not be affected. I bought them to read small print in books and they work very well. The print seems to be getting smaller these days or I am getting older 😳 I would have no problem recommending them.

Estou satisfeita com a minha compra e recomendo o produto. Para estudantes universitários de Conservação e Restauração de Bens Culturais, as lupas são excelentes. A lupa chegou um dia antes da data prevista. Já a testei e constatei que preciso usar meus óculos com as três primeiras lentes, mas nas duas últimas (a quarta e a quinta lentes), não há necessidade de óculos. A troca dos braços pela faixa elástica é fácil, pois os componentes são de encaixe. No processo de entrega, a empresa demonstrou grande responsabilidade. Agradeço a todos que contribuíram para que o item chegasse até mim em perfeito estado.
