Thanks, Avital,
I have bookmarked the website you suggested, and after I get my eyelids fixed,
I will surely check them out. I believe a 4x would suit me.

Magvu, which is similar to Mageyes but not identical, says that their
lenses are 2.5x and 4x magnification. Maybe that would fit your needs.

I have several magnifiers - the one with the light, which makes the thinnest

Hi Betty Ann -
My stash of lenses for the Mag Eyes includes the #2 (which is what I use over
my progressive bifocal lenses), the #4, the #5, and the #7. To confuse things,
the #2 magnifies +1.6, the #4 magnifies +2, the #5 magnifies 2.25X, and the #7
magnifies 2.75X. Yes, the use of + or X

Hello, everyone, I'm back and resubscribed to lace.
Shirlee, I wouldn't be caught making lace without my magnifier nearby. I
bought mine many years ago from SMP when they first came out, and now Holly and
Lacy Susan, and perhaps other suppliers, carry them.

Dear Shirlee,
Does anyone have any experience with the magnifier that you pin or
clip to your pillow?
I just LOVE my magnifier which is very portable - can't live without
it in fact these days.
Do a search for MAGVU and you'll find it. I think it might be an

Just want to second this. I learned about the Mageyes from a fellow
knitter of miniatures, tried them, and can't say enough good things
about them. As Clay says, they're light and unobtrusive and come in
