At 57 I’m happy to say I can still read a newspaper unaided, but when I tried to sharpen my Diston 10 point cross cut saw this morning, the blurr of teeth was a problem. Anyone have any suggestions on a good product along the jeweler’s head visor line that might resolve this issue?
Haven’t used one myself, Bill but this site carries a very large selection of visors, lamps and other magnifying tools; prices seem reasonable too.

Maybe someone else has direct experience with something that has worked well for them?
I was looking at this one
I like the idea of a light, and the reviews can be helpful. I think I’ll still wait a little longer to see if anyone has additional input.
Thanks for your responses!BW
hi bill i bought this one and i’m not happy with it unless you have your nose resting on the saw vice its not much use imho

I use cheap drug store reading glasses. They give me just enough magnification so that I can see what I’m doing but are inexpensive to replace if something happens to them.

I use a clip on light to a broom handle. One end drilled through 6mm use a bolt plus spacing washer and mount horizontally UNDER a shelf above worktop. This onsomblay can be swivelled out of way or over work.
Then I use strongest £6.00 chemist classes, I have a pair of 3 times magnification, sit on my pine stool (claimed from the dump) and work on my Disston saws with ease.

I ended up buying the Carson. It works well for me and I’m pleased with the purchase. Thank you one and all for your assistance!
