My eyes are terrible (retinopathy) and I can't really paint minis anymore without a magnifying glass. I would like to get one to wear on the head but have had limited success finding one that suits my needs. I have macular damage in one eye so can only really paint with my right eye closed anyway. The issues is that although I can find lenses with the appropriate magnification (x10, x20, etc.) the focal distances can vary widely. Ideally I would like to find one with a long focal distance as it gives me more room to paint and I can light the model better (otherwise it can be a struggle to see details. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
