Donegan OptiVISOR Headband Magnifier – Hands-Free 1.5x–3.5x

Donegan OptiVISOR Hands-Free Headband Magnifier

See fine details clearly while keeping both hands free to work. The Donegan OptiVISOR is a professional-quality binocular headband magnifier designed for detailed close-up tasks such as jewelry work, watch repair, model building, crafts, sewing, electronics, inspection, assembly and precision repairs.

Unlike a handheld magnifier, the OptiVISOR stays securely in position while you work. The binocular design allows you to view the project with both eyes and maintain natural depth perception, making it especially useful for tasks where accuracy and hand coordination matter. Donegan describes the OptiVISOR as providing hands-free magnification with three-dimensional vision.

Choose the Magnification That Fits Your Work

The OptiVISOR is available in six magnification strengths. Higher magnification provides a closer view but also requires you to work closer to the object.

These magnification and working-distance specifications are provided by Donegan Optical.

Who This Is For

The OptiVISOR is an excellent choice for anyone who needs hands-free magnification for detailed close work, including:

Jewelry making and gemstone inspection, watch and clock repair, electronics and circuit work, model building and miniature painting, sewing and needlework, fly tying, crafts, mechanical work, detailed assembly and inspection.

Donegan specifically markets its headband magnifiers to hobbyists, jewelers and industrial users who need greater visibility for detailed work.

Selecting a Magnification

Do not automatically choose the strongest power. As magnification increases, working distance decreases.

For example, the 1.5x model provides approximately 20 inches of working distance, while the 3.5x model requires the work to be approximately 4 inches away. Choose the strength that gives you the detail you need while still leaving enough room to comfortably perform your task.
