What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 7, 2026
The Optivisor is a head-mounted binocular magnifier that sits like a visor over the eyes, leaving both hands completely free while magnifying objects at a roughly 20-inch working distance. The 1.5x magnification from precision ground optical glass lenses suits tasks like reading small print, detailed handwork, or examining fine objects without holding a lens. It fits over prescription glasses and the visor flips up when not needed — practical if you alternate between magnified and normal viewing. At 1.5x this is a relatively modest magnification level; people with more significant vision loss may find they need a higher-diopter lens plate (sold separately) or a different tool entirely.
