However, how the hell do you see to tie one of these little *******s?
I got it made, personally, as my dentist gave me an old pair of these,
http://www.designsforvision.com/DentHtml/D-TTL1.htm Then I found out
the cost between 500 and a thousand dollars!!! He had some old ones
in his drawer that he didn't use, as the new ones have a light. They
give you an area of about 3" at 2.5 or 3X magnification.


A number of years ago, I bought a pair of these

in 4X. They're great. I may eventually buy the 5X if I need them.
