No advice on the Opti-Visor. I got mine from a jewelry supply store here in Houston. They are available on line tyoo. I use the strongest they make.
When m y eyes went out (in 2003) I didn't trip a shutter for 18 mm months. Later on, I found that my best images are small table-top compositions or spaces I can walk around in. To be sure of the focus, I put a focusing target into the set up, usually a bar code panel, Move it around in the composition to check tilt/swings.
For focusing, I have used strong (very) prescription reading glasses, the Optiviser and a regular loup . . . .and the salvaged copier lens.
Another tip: I only show the images that actually turn out well.

There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!
