The more magnification, the closer the working distance. If you want to have your cake and eat it too, order an Optivisor with a comfortable working distance, and order an Optiloupe that you can occasionally flip down to view objects at a higher magnification but a closer focal distance. If you ever decide that you need your work to be at a different focal distance, you can always order a different Optivisor lens plate, which affixes easily.
The Optivisor Magnifier is available with molded acrylic lenses. It is the Optivisor LX Series. Same comfortable headband. Lower price because the lenses are not ophthalmic glass and do not have the scratch resistance of glass. The acrylic lenses are not mounted in the blue lens frame characteristic of glass Optivisor lenses.
