A hand magnifier creates as little remedy, because then only one hand free. This large desk magnifiers are not always helpful, since they restrict the freedom of movement a.
So have a different solution. And so I ended up with a head motion (in the way, I got the headband headache) reaches the spectacle magnifier.
For Packaging:
The glasses are supplied in a sturdy cardboard box with rigid foam insert. This box is at the same time or storage case in which everything can be stored well. The three magnifying glasses are still wrapped separately in foil and everything is working very snugly, so that even when transporting rolls nothing messed up.
For spectacle frame:
The frame is comparable and quite stable with conventional eyeglasses. Only the thin wires, where the small nostrils are attached, make a fragile impression. But this is deceptive. So I was able with a fine forceps to adjust the blade spacing on my nose width, without anything breaking off. Cautiously should be naturally anyway.
For Centerpiece:
The exact name I do not know. This refers to the part which eyeglass frame and magnifying glasses together. This part is made of plastic and is simply clamped to the wide side on the rack. There is a hinge, which allows you to change the future position of the glasses is also the same (height adjustment). At the narrow end of a notch is incorporated, in which you can then to clip the glasses. While this requires a certain expenditure of energy, but the glasses sit firmly but then also so that they do not adjust on its own.
Types of glass:
The magnifying glasses are also made of plastic. Anders can probably hardly the low overall weight of just 26 grams explain. This has now also have the disadvantage that they do not reach the quality that provides ground real glass. If you hold the magnifying glass a little further away, you can see significant distortions at the edges, which do not make that in normal use on the nose but noticeable.
My conclusion:
I can only recommend the spectacle, especially as it is designed so that I can also put before my actual ophthalmic without something suppressed or otherwise interfere.
Often though warned of plastic lenses, because you could be the eyes "spoil". But I guess that there is hardly a risk because the spectacle is indeed always used only very briefly.
How long the hinge will hold the centerpiece, has yet to be seen. Also to be seen is how many times you can exchange the glasses until they suddenly no longer properly seated. But if they are not constantly interchanges, you should prolong the enjoyment of this spectacle magnifier.
I hope you enjoy it and always have a clear view when tinkering.
PS. If I forgot to mention anything, I beg your indulgence. This is my first review so that I so am still capable of learning. ;-)
