Optivisor No.3 14" Magnifier

Just as described. Perfect for delicate close work. Easy to use and maintain.

Very useful for hand sewing & fine knitting. Great for needle threading.

I ordered the OptiVisor DA-3 (NOT the OptiVisor AL). The Amazon product description states the lenses are made of ophthalmic quality GLASS. It also states the box contains the OptiVISOR, a fitted, plastic carrying case and an instruction manual.The product arrived in an unsealed manufacturer's box labeled OptiVisor Optical GLASS Binocular Magnifier DA 3. Inside were a visor with PLASTIC lenses in an open, flimsy clear plastic wrapper and an Owner's Manual.No GLASS lenses. No carrying case. If I wanted cheap plastic lenses I would have ordered a less expensive product.Amazon sold an inferior product in a more expensive product's box, missing some of the items. Amazon gave me a refund. But how do I get the product I want?

I purchased the Donegan OptiVisor after researching several different brands and styles of headband magnifier to help me better see small parts when I make custom jewelry. I need to be sure that all the pieces fit snugly, joints are even, and any scratches or sharp ends on wire and findings are eliminated.The GLASS lens sold me on this particular one over the others I looked at. From other reviewer's comments of all the brands I researched, I gathered that the optical quality for the glass lens was superior to the more common, plastic lens which often was or became blurry or distorted and could not be worn for extended periods without developing a headache or eye-distress.I was also concerned about lens scratches, etc. I believe I made the correct choice. The headband is infinitely adjustable and lined in the forehead area with a soft headpiece which makes it very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The visor has knobs on each side allowing me to adjust tension for the task at hand. After the initial period of getting used to wearing the headband and adjusting my working distances, I have worn this magnifier for hours without getting a headache or developing eye-distress! The OptiVisor also fits comfortably with my prescription glasses on.I also like the fact that the lens can be changed out for another magnification or replaced should it become damaged, without having to replace the entire headband. Although made entirely from plastic (except for the lens) the Donegan OptiVisor quality is excellent, and given some care in use and storage, should last for several years. I do not regret purchasing this product -- and after shopping around, Amazon was the least expensive online store I found.-DON-

These are great and I want to get more.
