I use Magniclips. They are like the old fashioned sunglasses that clipped onto your glasses over the nose piece. They come in different levels of magnification-I use 2.5. If you type in magniclips ? magni clips? not sure, they will come up. I have a hard time seeing to thread needles etc and they work great. You can either remove them or just flip them up out of the way - I always have a pair clipped onto the flip up top on my machine.
