Title: Terrific aid to bookworms
Review: I can really find no fault with this product. I have wet AMD in my right eye, and it has been very difficult trying to read,which is my main reason for retiring. This product comes with 5 different strengths of magnification and also a led light in the headpiece that you may or may not use. I prefer the end table lamp in the living room. I think the price is very good and the product is very well made. I recommend highly if you like to read do needlepoint or other crafts.

Title: Very well constructed and very useful for just about any hobby or close work.
Review: The magnifier glasses come in a sturdy black clamshell storage box that has a zipper closure. They fold neatly and securely into this box. The storage box holds yet another plastic snap close box for the five interchangeable lenses. There’s a headband that can be snapped in place as an alternative for the temples that are installed as shipped. Also included is a cleaning cloth for the lenses. This storage box is really sturdy and I expect it would provide protection for the magnifiers and lenses even if dropped. I did not test this.The magnifiers themselves are made of a very tough lightweight plastic. Flexible but really sturdy feeling. Metal pins and screws are used everywhere there are joints or moveable parts.Except for adding three AAA batteries I used the magnifiers straight out of the box. The batteries are held in the magnifiers frontspiece that is touching your forehead. There is a battery cover for that clips closed on the inside of the frontspiece so it’s simple to install or replace the batteries.I have no idea how long the three AAA batteries would power the LED light on the magnifiers. I used them for about 7-8 hours, almost all of the time I was working with the light on. The batteries do add weight to the magnifiers and if they were being used where there was already good lighting, the batteries could be removed.The light is a dual white LED on top of battery case on the front of the magnifiers. There is an off/on switch for the light. The LED lights are in a little holder can be positively clicked at different angle positions to adjust how the light is shining on what you’re looking at. The white LED light is very bright even in a dark room. I think that having two bulbs probably helps with that and helps reduce shadows on the objects you’re illuminating.Once I got used to how bright the light was, I felt it was really helpful, especially when working with some smaller photoetch parts. Even though I have two light sources on the workbench where I model, I think I’ll always still use the LED light. As you turn your head to focus on your work the light follows and illuminates whatever you’re looking at. Very nice!The five magnifier lenses included are 1.0x, 1.5x, 2.0x, 2.5x, 3.5x strengths. They are hard durable plastic and very clear. The lenses snap securely into a holder that is underneath the front of the magnifiers. The lens holder itself can be positioned at different angles including the ability to completely flip the lens up and out of the way.I tried all five of the lenses to do some fine scale modeling work and for the work I was doing the 2.5x was more than adequate. The focal length for my test was about 15 inches from the lenses. For the work that I was doing this was a very comfortable and “natural” distance. The 3.5x strength lens was impressive and could come in handy but I just didn’t need that much magnification for what I was doing.As I mentioned there is an optional adjustable headband. To use this just unclip each temple piece and clip in the ends of the headband in the two places where you unclipped the temples. The headband is an elastic adjustable band that was okay but really for the work I was doing the magnifiers temples had quite enough spring to securely hold them. The headband might come in handy if you had to work with your head at some odd angle where the magnifiers might tend to slip?I have a “large” hat size. The magnifiers temples as out of the box were tight. They have a “rubber” pad on the inside end for more “grip”. For me this was more than enough for a secure tight feeling but not “pinching”. I don’t know if the temple’s “spring” could be adjusted as I didn’t try.The only really adjustable part of fitting the magnifiers to your face is a bendable nose piece. This is how the magnifiers rest on your face. The “blades” of this nose piece can be bent inward and outward to adjust for the width and fit on your nose. There are some silicone covers included that slide over the nose piece blades. I tried the fit with and without these pads. With the silicone covers on I had to spread the nose piece much wider to get the right but it felt better with them. It took a few tries, bending the blades in and out to get it just right. I used the magnifiers a few times before I got them adjusted the way I liked them. Most of the weight of the magnifiers rest on the nose piece so adjusting it to fix comfortably is important. Taking out the batteries would reduce the weight resting on the nose piece, a consideration if you don’t need to use the LED light.I used the magnifiers for a few sessions of about two hours of focused work, seated, looking down at a model on my workbench, I thought they would feel heavy or slip, especially where the nose piece rested on the bridge of my nose, but they were comfortable, secure, and did not feel loose at all for that whole time.Lastly about using the magnifiers over prescription glasses. I have “no frame” glasses so this sort of worked but wearing the magnifiers over your glasses means the nose piece can’t fit as close to your face. It changes how they fit on your face. It sort of worked but I don’t think it would be practical except for really short periods of time. My glasses are mostly for distance anyway so I didn’t try to wear them with the magnifiers, other than just to see how it would work. Unless your prescription glasses are really small I don’t think the magnifiers would fit comfortably over them.

Title: It really helps low vision users
Review: The Vision Aid Magnifying Glasses are exactly what they are called and what they claim to be: a magnifying glass mounted in a glasses frame. As such, they are comfortable to wear and work really well.Cataract surgery robbed me of my near vision, and reading glasses do not help me because of a corneal irregularity. The Vision Aid glasses are the only device I have tried that actually restores my ability to read even quite small print.My complaint about the product is that the glasses are heavy, and the frame on my set broke, through no fault of my own, soon after I had purchased it. However,Vision Aid’s Customer Service is astonishingly responsive. I emailed them at the address provided in the kit, and a day later they responded. They did not require me to return the old kit or even to provide a photo of the broken frames.. They asked only for my purchase order number. Once I responded, they mailed me an entire new kit within 3 days!I highly commend this company, and recommend their product.

Title: Very solid purchase! LOVE IT!-Another great Amazon product.
Review: At 70 years of age, my eyesight isn’t as good as it used to be.Because of this product, I can now read any book despite the small print! I confidently go to the public library and check out ANY book I want. These glasses are a game changer. The light at the top of the glasses enhances the reading process.I love the fact that I can wear my prescription glasses at the same time.5 glasses of different magnifications are included. Fantastic carrying case.This is a well-made, sturdy product.

Title: One of the best items I’ve ever purchased from amazon
Review: This product is absolutely fantastic, if you have vision issues. Not so much a breakthrough in technology (it’s just a magnifier) but how well it’s implemented. You can use it like a pair of glasses or swap out for a headband. You can use with or without prescription glasses. Has tons of adjustments. Flip the lens up out of the way or slide it forward and backward quite a distance. Adjustable led light with two brightness levels and it’s rechargeable. And has I nice storage case. With 5 swappable magnification of lenses and they are super easy to change out. I use it with the headband and the nose piece completely removed. I did have to heat the plastic legs where the headband attatches. They will push into the temples. They have to be bent out. It now fits perfectly. I use this to read my bibles that have terribly small print. I love it. I am buying another to use when I’m bible rebinding. I recommend this product 100 percent. I’m so happy I bought this item.

Review: These magnifying glasses are a game-changer for lash artists! 🤩 The clarity and magnification are incredible, making it so much easier to see those tiny lashes. They’re comfortable to wear, even for long periods, and the light is a lifesaver. I can now work with more precision and speed, which my clients love. Highly recommend these to any lash tech looking to up their game! 🙌
