Visors/Lights for MRR work?

There are many such devices available at hobby shops and train shops, as well as from companies marketing hobby tools and equipment. you should be able to use something off-the-shelf unless you have special or complex vision requirements.
I know how you feel - N-scalers can't get by without them, and many a "large scale convert" has become one because he can no longer see well enough in smaller scales.
The "Golden Years" really suck... Nope

Thanks! I might just try my LHS options then. I think these could really be helpful when working with fine detail, etc. It's funny, I never really considered these until my eye doctor suddenly suggested them!

My eyes for close-up work aren't too bad yet, I only need +1.5 or +2.0 for reading. I didn't start needing reading glasses until I was 47 or so (now definitely need them at 51).

Another option, which often works for me, is to simply remove my glasses/contacts and just zoom in using only my eyes. I'm basically near-sited, so I can zoom in up-close, i.e. holding objects a mere 3-4" away from my eyes!
