You know what would be really cool? If they made a set of these that you could record a video of what you're doing. Either using an SD card, a long usb-c cable connected to your computer or a monitor, or using wireless Bluetooth. Do they make products for people who still have perfect vision? The part about sawing without smacking yourself in the optivisor and being able to work without becoming the hunchback of Notre Dame is what *really* entices me. I have spinal stenosis, arthritis, herniated disks, bone spurs, and all sorts of crap wrong with my spine from the cervical down to the lumbar. Physical labor, then moved to a desk job, then to jewelry. It has ALWAYS been a struggle to protect the bones, joints & posture no matter what field I was working in. I even got spinal injuries working in the veterinary field. 😅

We actually did have a camera when we were in the dental and surgical markets years ago. Three are some very tiny cameras that can be used to video procedures but that’s a different product line that we don’t have enough of a market for. CraftOptics can be used with any type of prescription or reader, and if you don’t need any correction at all (meaning, no reading correction or prescription) they can be ordered with clear lenses in the frames. This is a very important point. Our magnification is not a substitute for someone’s reading correction if that is what they normally wear. It works WITH your reading correction. For example, some people who wear just contact lenses who do not need any reading correction order CraftOptics with clear lenses. Some who wear contacts but also wear readers order their CraftOptics with just the readers installed. For your back/neck issues, we can be very helpful. That is a big part of what we do. We have three different working distance options so you can get in a position that is comfortable for how you prefer to work. Try our Product Wizard in the shop menu at our site www.craftoptics.com/wizard Thanks for your thoughts!

@ I could not buy from VS because of being required to hunch over tables to select cabs. I went to another vendor who appreciates my business. As far as I am concerned, the back tent is minerals and fossils. Imperial people were super nice to me. When my work is worn by major singers, I give credit as to the source.
