Magnification options?

While I still don't need to use reading glasses, I am finding it challenging of late to clearly see well enough to accurately place spring bar tools and small screwdrivers. I am looking for recommendations and links to magnification options. Thank you...

I use something called an Opti visor and find it works very well.
I'm sure if you google it you can find one.
I believe they are available in different degrees of magnification

Thanks Chris. I had seen a reference to this type of visor before but couldn't remember the name. Just ordered a pair.

My watchmaker uses one of those and let me look through it to see some detail he was explaining.

They work great, but the downside is you see every little flaw on your Rolex!

It took me a few days to just accept that if I cannot see it with the naked eye I don't have to worry about it...

You're very welcome
I'm legally blind and I used the visor when I redid the numbers on the bezel of my Explorer II
I found it very helpful
