I have "old" eyes and need a 1.5 magnification- are these goggles appropriate for my situation?

yes, they work fine for close "reading" type work like looking at your depth guage or camera settings

The goggles will give you extra fun to your vacation - my son had terrible vision and to young to use contacts, but this solution work perfectly!

If you wear reading glasses...the kind you purchase at the drug store, get the same magnification. If you don't need reading glasses get the 0.0.

you will need an adapter as C5 is 1.25 . many available . just google : adapt 2" eyepiece to 1.25"

Assuming they let you bring them in, then yes, you could use them. The image is quite clear and bright. My only disappointment with them is that for some reason I expected them to have a zoom feature to let one adjust the degree of magnification, but the magnification is fixed. But otherwise, they are good.

I think they'll be fine, I have a somewhat large head I guess (not small) and these were actually a little too small on me. They're nice and sturdy, but I gave them to my dad bc of the fit and just ordered replacement lenses for my P17s.

These will work fine. Because they are smaller, the field of view will be smaller. The object will be the same size, you just won't be able to see as much in the view as you would with bigger lens. Basically, these are as powerful as larger sized binoculars, you just don't get the field of view that you do in larger lens. Hope this helps

These glasses are just for the computer screen glare (they don't magnify anything). Hope you find what you need :-)

The minimum focus distance is 0.15m. At that distance the magnification should be at least 1:1.

They should be fine without glasses. My friends use mine and never have a problem. However, if you plan on being pretty active, you might want to purchase regular sized eye protection just to be sure.

Unless you have ReallyBigHands or are a very accomplished athlete ( w really good grip. ) the 1.5's would work better for you.

It really depends on your personal vision. I am 65, have cataracts and I could not build my car models. I also use these to repair my wife's jewelry. I was very skeptical because the price was so low. I am very happy to own my pair, so are friends and family I told about them. I think you will love them.

A barlow is fine. I use the GSO Barlow that actually gives you two magnification choices... http://agenaastro.com/gso-1-25-2x-achromatic-barlow-lens.html

David, these glasses are 1.25x magnification. OPTX 20/20 does offer other magnifications if this isn't what you're looking for.

Yes, somebody here said +.2 or something like that.It is minor but present; makes screen seem just a little bit bigger.You can get them as prescription lenses if you need more.

Hi, I said I would check the use of the MaxTV glasses with my 4.25 Diopter contact lenses removed.I did, the focus adjustment did NOT go quite far enough to give a sharp focus. It was very close,but not quite there. If you used a two diopter, I don't think you would have a problem, even a 3 diopter would probably work. So for what it's worth. Ang, again, they work as I wanted them to.

These glasses actually do have a magnification of +.25. I actually took them to my eye doctor and they measured the power for me. To put this in perspective, many reading glasses are +1 magnification. +.25 is the smallest increment, incrementing at .5 .75 and 1. So, the magnification is quite small, it just helps things become a little clearer.

I think they'd be fine. They're smaller than my Minolta 10X and have a little smaller FOV, but the light gathering and clarity is excellent.
