Most Helpful Positive Review 2 Power Magnification Flip-Up Lenses
These are very good for close work. They help me with stamps, small parts/screws, coins and many other times when holding a magnifying glass in one hand would be difficult. I am very pleased that I bought them. WAB Pros: They help a lot with small items or print. Cons: You have to adjust to their ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Not Worth the Money
I bought these for my mom, whose eyesight is not great. Thought the magnifier would make it easier for her to read. I tried them before I gave them to her and I couldn't see a thing, no matter where I held the object, neither close nor far away. Gave them to mom. Same result. She could see noth...

Carlson Clip& Flip

by tad, from PA, United States Written on August 31, 2016
Works perfectly but you must be only inches away from the object you want to view.They did clip to my glasses with out being loose or in the way of viewing at all.I bought them for removing slivers,they leave both hands free.

Just what I needed

by johnleebenton, from CO, United States Written on July 7, 2015
They work great. The only problem I've had is sometimes the rubber tips for the clips come off. If this happens, the glasses slide off the lenses of my regular glasses. It would be great if this problem could be fixed, because I really like these.

Excellent magnifiers for precision work

by RJC, from TX, United States Written on February 20, 2015
Just pinch the little clamp at the nose bridge and this magnifier clips onto your eyeglasses. The 4.0 diopter lenses double the power of your vision. Perfect for stitching neatly in leather or nylon, removing splinters, tying flies, any task that requires close-up magnified vision. Much smaller than a magnifying glass, desktop magnifier or lamp. May fit in your eyeglass case with your glasses.
Pros:
  • easy to use.
  • compact, handy, and inexpensively priced.
  • powerful
  • hands free
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Great for my job

by cecilia, from NY, United States Written on January 17, 2015
This is my second pair i got, my first one i gave it to my sister that was looking for something like this, We love them because we can use them with any pair of glasses we are using. I do a very meticulous job retouching images with dots , so this is fantastic.

by Miketriton, from TX, United States Written on November 5, 2014
Essential for tying small flies. Great product. Design seems to have changed from the last version I purchased from Optics Planet. Hopefully they will be a little more resilient.Work well on a baseball cap.
Pros:
  • Work well
Cons:
  • Can be easy to break in a backpack

Carson Clip & Flip Magnifying Lenses for Eyeglasses

by Legacy Reviewer, Verified Owner from WA, United States Written on September 17, 2009
My intent for these was for tying small flies onto a leader when fishing. They are a great magnification choice for that and have an excellent working distance for that purpose. They are lightweight enough to wear all day but but they bump up against a hat brim or ball cap visor so my glasses are always being pushed down (on) the nose. They also stick out beyond the hat brim/visor and will get wet when it's raining. Both of which caused me to take them off when not in use and that defeats the purpose of the flip feature. Like another reviewer stated the rubber-like jackets that goes over the clip to grip and protect the eyeglass lenses quickly fell off and were lost even though I tried to glue them on on. I will happily use them for fly tying at home.
Pros: Inexpensive, good optics, lightweight, diopter value given in description
Would recommend: Yes
