These are a lot like "Mag-Eyes", sold in the US. http://www.mageyes.com/Hobby.htm There's a strap around the head, and the lenses hang in front. The lenses can be tilted out of the way up or down. Since they magnify the view, it's like holding the object close to the face. You might find that you can see what's on the pillow while the pillow is far enough away to work on it. I've seen bobbin lacemakers using the Mag-Eyes, and my father used them for his jewelry-making, but I haven't used them myself. Robin P.
