Kleinstein:
The visor gives you a little larger working distance compared to reading glasses. So you are less likely to hit your nose with the soldering iron.
Form the optics they are similar, just a singel manifying lense at a fixed distance to the eye.

The reading glasses are often more compftable to wear. For really small things it needs the strong ones, like +3 dp, not the more common weak ones.
It dends on the eyes if this is enough - those who are really short sighted get away with just changing from the normal glasses to safty glasses.
The visors may be available with stronger lenses and can be combined with the normal glasses.

For me, taking off my glasses is like switching to macro mode.  But then I have to keep track of my glasses so using a magnifier and leaving my glasses on is often more convenient.

I got a amscope, but never got any good use of it. Always right eye that comes out blurry. Switched the lenses,  and still right eye blurry. Always in the end of the range when it come to adjust it clear. It's a strange thing, using på right eye on the left side of the scope, it's clear with both lenses!  Must be a fault in the Amscope itself.
If I get down to my lab , I will take some photos.

Assuming you have adjusted the adjustable ocular for refractive differences, I suggest  you get an eye examination.  Cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are common causes for blurred vision that can occur in one eye.  Cataracts can be easily treated, as can glaucoma and dry eye.  Whether AMD is treatable depends on the type.  This is not the place to try to diagnose, which is why an examination is the best option.

I suspect the reason a difference is noted only when near focus for the other eye is that when it is blurred in both eyes a difference in blurriness is harder to detect than when one is clear.

Yes, it is, because you can wear normal glasses underneath them - so you still get corrections for each individual eye, and correction of astigmatism etc. (if you have that condition).

Furthermore, the "visor" part acts to block out light from above, which increases contrast and clarity of what you are looking at.  Try it!

My Optivisors are from the 1960's,  the modern ones look exactly the same.  Can't complain about the durability, lol!   :)
