I bought some 3.5X magnification specs from a pound shop (although they cost £1.49). Probably not the best thing for your eyesight (mines buggered anyway). But after trying the proper magnification headband thingy and a desk magnifier I just use these instead, I tend to use these specs for just for detail work. They are just light on the head (unlike the headband thingy) and are easy to use. Probably would make your optician scream (which is why I limit myself to using them for the fine detail work). They do take some getting used to (as does all magnifiers as your hands move the paintbrush at a now “strange speed” and it’s sometimes difficult to range).

But I’m still using corks as painting handles, but all mine come from empties (which again doesn’t help your brush control) 😀
