I can't see to do any close up work now. I had it done a few days ago, so my eyes are still adjusting. Eventually I'm going to need a better system than my large magnification lamp. Any suggestions?

For small detail work, I wear a pair of powerful reading glasses, an magnifying visor over that and my desk lamp's magnifying lens. I'm almost blind(something to do with what parts of my brain the bullet hit), but can paint 1/35 pupils with relative ease.

check with a medical supply house for a drs magnifying visor, used to remove sutures. should provide the vision you need and it has different levels of magnification powers.

Thank you both for the replies. I'll look for a good visor.
