Donegan LP1 OptiLOUPE Magnifier for OptiVISOR, Adds 2.5X Magnification

Can be used along with any Donegan optivisor. This lens is 2.5x and adds on to the magnification from the optivisor on one eye. Yes, you can choose to mount this either on the left or the right eye of the optivisor.

Great product, works well with other products and lights form manufacturer.

WORKS WELL! BUYING AN OTHER FOR A FRIEND

The magnifier works well enough and is convenient to swivel into place when needed. The only negative is that you need to be careful with your head when it is swung out of the way on the visor. If you are using your visor as I do in confined spaces, it can easily catch on wires or other objects as it protrudes a significant distance away from the visor. So far I've only had it dislodge the visor from my head, but it seems possible that it could also snap the magnifier in two depending on how it catches.

This is a great addition to optivisor product — however there seems to be a design flaw and it is an easy fix. Be sure to add a tooth lock washer or it will losen up every time you flip it up or down. I learned this by checking my Dad’s 50 year old optivisor and I emulated what he did to Gerry rig the optiloupe. Without the tooth lock washer, the fastener will losen and the nut will fall out. Photo set is my dad’s optivisor and my brand new one. See how the tooth lock washer is on the old one. Thank you dad — always knew how to improve on everything.

Good fit. Excellent clarity, no aberrations.

We got this because we thought we needed an extra magnifier loupe. I bought the optivisor primarily to dig splinters out of my son's fingers since he gets them all the time. I would NOT recommend getting the little light attachment as it is not durable, reliable or strong, and keeps falling off the optivisor headband with the least bump. I haven't used the loupe yet and feel it is an extra bother to move out of my way. It does seem to stay hinged out of the way once moved, unlike some of the other reviews that mention it keeps falling down into their field of vision. My husband, however has used it all of twice to repair a micro electronic mechanical sample at work and see a video game circuit board at home to see what was broken on it. He gives it 4 stars since he likes it and since I don't use it at all, I give it 3 stars. If you feel you need extra magnifying above the 3.5X of the optivisor, then maybe it would be useful for you, but I don't use it at home for anything as the optivisor lens magnifies plenty for what I do with it, and I'm the primary user of the optivisor, which is handy. It leaves your hands free to hold the little, strong beam LED flashlight from Home Depot and the other to actually do any work. (Too bad the dumb little light that goes with the optivisor is useless - don't waste your money on that thing). All in all, on the loupe, a big......maybe.
