For hobby use I'd like to have a pair of glasses like you see surgeons
use, they have small compound lenses mounted on the regular lens. They are
expensive, how would I go about making a magnyifing lens that will focus
at
about 18" and magnify 2 to 3 times?
I have searched for them on the net, but haven't found them, this is as
