Roberta,

    I have to share my great magnifying discovery. I do granulation and
    was looking for something to use as a magnifier. I didn't want the
    headgear (don't want to mess up my 'do) and I wear glasses already.
    Lo and behold, my optometrist had the perfect solution! He took my
    prescription and added a magnifying strength to it! I bought some of
    his inexpensive "package deal" glasses and he created new lenses for
    me that combined my prescription with about a 5x magnification.
    Total cost: $99. That included scratch coating. Now I can just put
    them on and granulate all day long. 

    Check with your optometrist about possibilities. I told some friends
    and they had it done to their glasses and are really happy.
