    Hey ducksterman, that is what I have! I test drove it a little earlier today and the magnifying glass is going back. I now need to clean them! I may get a pair to have in my "travel" supplies.
    I appreciate the link!

    Like TyroneFly, I have used MagEyes for years & they work great for me.

    Hi,
    With the MagEyes, do you look down into the "eyes" or do you move the unit up to your eyes?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Mike..note that on the Mag eyes the frame goes across the bottom of the visual field...I did not like that...but as they say your mileage may vary.

    AHA! I think I will stick with the visor. I was tying while waiting for the snow to stop and I found the visor good to go.

    I got a 2x magnifier with an LED light. I do still use reading glasses with it, I look thru both the glasses and the magnifier, and it works well for me.

    Hi,
    I wear drug store type regular "reading glasses" at 2.5 or 2.75 magnification and have no problem with them coming off. They are so light, you really don't notice them while tying. I have used several types of magnifiers (non-glasses types) and found they limit your tying freedom. If need be, you could rubber band the back of the frames in some fashion to keep your "cheaters" on, but like I said, I've had no problem.
