extra magnification

[Waspie]

Thank you everyone for all your views and various options. I have ruled out additional lights. That isn't my problem.
I think the route I will be going down is one of those contraptions you stick on your head and using various lenses can alter magnification whilst still wearing ones prescription glasses. I don't have an issue wearing something on my head, I spent yonks with a heavyish helmet so a few ounces of plastic will be a doddle. Plus I won't be wearing it all the time just when the going gets tough.
Thanks everyone, it has made a great discussion and I hope others who have eye issues may get something out of this too.

Well I ordered a headset type with a variety of different magnification lens that have the ability to have two sets of lens fitted at any one time.
It's a 'eSynic' model with illumination!!! Under £30 so not a biggy if I can't get on with it.
So in view of it due to arrive Monday or Tuesday, I have paused the Wasp build until it arrives!!
I'll try and remember to keep you informed on how I get on with it!!

Already posted this on the Wasp build but this is what I obtained. Initial thoughts are positive, the lens are glass and offer large choice of magnifications. Took a few minutes to get the headband adjusted. The 3 led lights offer 2 illumination levels and again, appear to do the job of putting bright light where needed. For under £30 it'll do.

Looks good and very good price. Magnification and decent lighting really does help. You'll be able to see all your c***-ups so much more clearly :smiling3:

Corrections already started Jim. Certainly easier to spot now.
