Since I posted the video of the Veniard 120 challenge, I have been bombarded with questions about the head gear David Edwards and myself are using!
They come with three separate lenses x 2. x 2.5 and x 3 that just clip on and off. The head band is adjustable and fits all. If you wish to improve your tying these will do it overnight!! You can see the slightest mistake and the rest.

I’ve been using a magnifier for years. I come from scale model building, and these are required there.
I also use a lighted boom magnifier on my bench.
You’re right – use a lens and improve your tying.
A pair of reading glasses in the desired magnification is also very helpfull (even though you don’t use glasses), and will only cost you a few $.
