I have some issues that unfortunately cannot be helped over use-net. I have a severe vision impairment, i have stopped building but am trying to figure out how i can get back into it. But i need some one to apply decals and things like that. I would appreciate any replies
Thanks DrPepper

I have just experienced a vision changing episode in my life. I very suddenly lost my previously very good up close vision. I am now struggling to find a balance. I love to read and have always been a fast and voracious reader. Never mind the modelling.
I have found the Optivisor system to be extrememly helpful. I have two one with a #10 lens the strongest and a #3 nearly the lowest. I also have the attachment Optiloupe which gives another 2.5 Mag on an as needed basis.
Though I haven't started any models yet, my preliminary experiments suggest I should be fine. that it will be a winner. It doesn't seem to work as well for reading, but that my be just me.
They also make a very intensely bright little light that clips to the visor amd runs off I think 2 AA batteries. They make a belt mount for the battery pack with a long cord and another with a shorter cord that mounts the battery pack on the visor. I bought the belt mount but I didn't like it as I found the cord gets in the way a bit. So I just looped it up and attached it to the visor. No problem.
Good luck. Let us know how it works out for you.

Yeah, I'm now using the "Visor of Vision" to combat presbyopia. This is a Chinese knock-off of the Optivisor. It's got two elements with a third exterior loupe, lights on both sides; I find using only one keeps it from being too heavy. I got mine from Modelexpo in Florida. hth
