Guppysnail Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) I have poor eyesight aging makes it worse. I use my phone on full 5x magnification to see tiny fry anymore. That is getting to be not enough. I have purchased several from Amazon that say 10x. They are all either distorted, foggy/blurry acrylic or get moisture between the lens from humidity. Can anyone recommend a good one higher than or at least equivalent to my iPhone 12 5x magnification as the phone is PITA to watch fast fry. Preferable glass so it does not get the foggy acrylic look. Edit to add handheld please. I appreciate your recommendations! Thank you in advance. Edited March 21, 2022 by Guppysnail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 8 tanks in 2 rooms but the light would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne Brown Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) @GuppysnailWould a head based one work? I bought something similar to this Link and it's my go to for most work that needs both hands. Edited March 21, 2022 by Dwayne Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwayne Brown Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 @GuppysnailNot sure if your interested but I bought this for sunglasses when the pandemic started to keep them from fogging. It will probably work on a glass magnifying glass as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moisture is in between two lenses in the others I can’t take apart to clean. This is a mega win for my actual glasses though! I’m going to purchase some today. Nothing worse than working in the tank through foggy glasses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
