Repeat after me: "Optivisor, optivisor, optivisor...!"  ;)

I've worn glasses for the last 40-odd years, ad the OV is most certainly a benefit for me!
Cheers!

The only drawback is that we look really dorky when wearing it. At least that's what my younguns' say.  ;D

Just when I thought I knew everything............ I think I'll try the 10X in my OV later today, I had thought it meant 10 power however with the numbers provided by Uncle Tony it should work well for me, perhaps a little hard on the back with the very short focal length.
Just like a Kit, when all else fails, read the instructions/manual!   :-[ ::)
Thanks for the info Tony.
Cheers,
Lance

The postman delivered mine today, so tonight I can officially join the 'make myself look silly' club.  :)

Really looking forward to being able to see what I'm doing.

I look silly without it, so you can imagine my appearance with it!  ;)

I've just got home with it. My daughter greeted me with "Let's see you look like a mug then".  :)

It's a good job I like her. ;D
