[Elecraft] magnifying Lamp

[Larry]

If you have binocular vision (both eyes work together and almost equal 
corrected vision) I think you'll find an Optivisor to be superior to the 
  Mag Lamps. It is a headband with lenses that can be lowered over your 
current eyeglasses. If you get about an 8" working distance,you can 
solder and see the smallest of solder "bridges". Its also fairly 
comfortable.
Just google optivisor, they have some off brand copies for about $20.
