Yes, I know this topic has been covered ad nauseum, however I has anyone tried those Bright Eyes that you see on TV?
My wife bought me a headband with an LED lamp on it. I use dollar store cheaters- I have several diopters to use. Gives me something similar.
Haven’t tried those. I do what Don does with the headband optivisor and the cheaters.
I too use the cheaters. Found a pair with real glass and at +6 they are awesome for the lose in tiny stuff.

Do you recall where you found the 6+ glasses? I have trouble finding anything even nearing 3.
I find if I go beyond 3 I get a headache after just a minute or two. Readers do not have convergence ground in and at the distance appropriate for 6 diopters your eyes are really trying to converge to an almost cross-eyed angle (unless you need maybe three diopters for normal reading- then the extra three brings you back to normal).
For anything that close, I have one of those positional ring light magnifiers- the lens is about six inches in diameter. If both eyes look through the same lens, that automatically supplies some convergence. If I put on my +3 readers and look through the magnifier, my finger tips look gigantic and problem becomes dexterity- I can really see the shake of the tweezers!
I got them an Amazon, but they are currently showing unavailable.

Yes, I can’t spend too much time with them:) I have to take them off before moving off the chair.

Thanks for the link. After reading some of the comments I might be tempted to try the 4.5 ones they have. It would be a significant improvement over the 2.75 ones I got at Walmart and maybe I can avoid some of the problems others have noted.
Don:
I don’t need magnification to see the tweezers shake!
