Mike, For me they are the only thing. I read in the other posts that they are not for some. I have several types and the Opti Visor is the best for me. I just can't tie with a Magnifier Light, I wear bifocal glasses and a 5X lens in the visor. I can look through my bifocals at things on the bench and they are clear and then look at the fly in the vise and it is clear without adjusting the visor. The only thing I find when tying at shows is looking up at the person I am talking to.. I do automatically raise the visor to look at that person. I go almost all day with the visor on my head. This would bother some people and not others, maybe I just have a hard head. The Mag Eyes would be second choice they are light in weight but I still prefer the Opti Visor. I have two pair the 5X for tying and 7X for rod wrapping. The cheap ones with lights from Harbor Freight are just OK but not as good as the better ones. They are usually on sale for less than 5.00 You will have to decide, this is what works best for me. Tony

I looked at one at the craft store and it was $40 for one with one lens. I looked at Ebay and they start around $5. Does anyone use these and do you have any idea which one to buy? Are the cheapies just as good for tying purposes as the more expensive ones? Mike -- Mike Bliss Aloha from Hawaii -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
