Lightweight, adjustable headband.

Lens can hinged up out of the way, e.g. if you can't be bothered to take it off each time you have a visitor or drink a cup of coffee.

Applications

Suitable for reading, crafts, or for simple engineering work.

The large visor lens is brilliant for 'wide-angle' viewing, especially reading. this is the one I used after an eye operation when I had very limited vision for a few weeks. Adding the high-power lenses make is suitable for more detailed close-up work.
