    Here's an additional quandary I have with regard to this issue: I
    can't see without my glasses. And almost all work I do in my shop I
    do with magnifying headgear.. an old Magni-Focuser "halo" type item I
    inherited from from father-in-law that has a boxy, protective front
    that flips up if I need to see without the benefit of magnification.
    I wear this thing all day.. for carving and playing with PMC; for
    tying knots at the ends of pearl necklaces; for all wire work, ring
    cutting and chain weaving; whenever I'm lightly forging wire.. and
    when I'm using my small butane torch. I've always thought it was
    enough. I don't solder a lot... jump rings, an occasional bail or
    back for a pin or set of earrings, so I'm not exposed a whole lot.
    But I'm so used to working with this magnifier on my head, I can't
    imagine working without it. It's not labeled, so I have no idea what
    the magnification level is, but I think it's probably 2x to 3x at
    most. Are there any examples of dididium glass goggles out there that
    are likely to fit both over my prescription glasses and beneath this
    magnifier???
