Check Magnifier.com for their HVM-5L lighted magnifier. It comes with a set of 4 interchangeable lenses giving 1.2X, 1.8X, 2.5X and 3.5X magnifications. The lenses clip into the headband. No peripheral vision restrictions. Does not have a knob-adjustable headband, but the slide-clamp adjuster works well and is easy to use. Most importantly,it can be worn over your normal glasses, so any corrective prescriptions n your regular glasses can be retained. Inexpensive too, only $22 plus shipping. Optivisors are nice, no question about that, but the HVM-5L is one heck of a better deal. I am very happy with the one I got. No connection, etc.
