snipped, about magnification

seems an AWFULLY expensive way to go. The McKenzie magnifier is around
60 bucks, as I recall, and works fine. I now wear glasses to read, so
clearly, I am dealing with the same vision issues. I see no reason at
all to seek out a multi-hundred dollar solution, nor wear something that
is head-mounted while tying. YMMV, but the McKenzie is worth a
look-see(no pun intended....)

I'm not recommending the multi hundred dollar solution.
There are some on ebay similar to what I'm using for about 15 bucks.
