Richard Avedon Flip Down Reading Glasses

What power do people get? Stronger, then stronger, then stronger....

The baseball style frames are still made. I think you would have to have an optometrist make a set of reading glasses with those frames. I'd like to get a set, too.

Michael,

Someone suggested this option in an older thread about this subject. At first, I thought it was absolutely hilarious, but then I started to think that it might just work.

The problem with the medical loupes is that they are just way too expensive and a good bit of overkill. The 3x flip downs work very well for my needs.

I bought my loupe from Mcmaster-Carr. Go to www.mcmaster.com and search for eyeglass loupes, they have several styles to choose from. I use their model number 1340T1 which is a 4x loupe that clips to my glasses-I like it a lot. It leaves my hands free and is always ready to use.

Hello Folks!

I know this thread is relatively old but I wanted to let you guys know of a flip-up reading glasses I'm currently creating. Please take a look and let me know what you think. I believe my glasses may solve many of your existing problems.

Best,

Brian

Now that I am at the age where I need reading glasses for viewing the ground glass, I believe that the flip down kind of these that Richard Avedon used would be fabulous. You wear the frames like regular glasses but the lenses flip down when you need then and up when you don't.

I have looked for them on the web and continue to not find what I am looking for. Anyone out there know where I can go to get these?

Best,

Michael,

Have you checked with your optician or optommitrist? Mine was able to show me several different options in both style and attachment that ranged from simple reading glasses, to loupes, to surgical magnifiers.

Clic glasses are handy under the cloth too:
