What are CraftOptics™ Telescopes?

1. Prescription Lenses or Readers
We install your complete prescription in the specially designed frames so you can not only see as you normally do when the binocular magnifiers are flipped up, but when they are down, they set right in front of your corrected vision. Then, you can see ABOVE the magnifiers to see around your work area or even watch TV while creating! For those who wear progressive lenses, we install those corrections as bifocals for the best optical clarity and function. We will even contact your optometrist to obtain your prescription if you don’t have a copy on hand. If you only wear readers, we install that in the frame. If you have no correction or only wear contact lenses, we can install clear lenses in the frame.

2. Flip-Up Capability
The magnifying telescopes can be easily flipped up when they are not needed so you can see as you normally do. The telescopes are 2x (similar to what your dentist likely wears). This is roughly equivalent to a +8.00 reading correction but the telescopic optical design allows you to work at a comfortable distance for improved posture.

3. Lightweight Frames
Lightweight and sturdy, the titanium frame includes spring hinges for maximum comfort. Frames are available in black, purple, and red. The entire setup with the telescopes weighs only 48 grams! The DreamBeam light adds only 7 grams (about the weight of a quarter).

Frames are available in two sizes: 51 small/medium (“one size fits almost everyone”, our most common size) and 53 (large). Select 53 only if you are used to ordering larger frames.

4. Adjustable Saddle nosepad
Fully adjustable “saddle” style silicone nosepad for added comfort. The frames “hang” on the bridge of your nose rather than sit on two pressure points like standard eyeglass nosepads.

5. Choose one of three ergonomic working distances
Select either Short (12-14″), Regular (14-16″) or Long (16-18″) when ordering to help you maintain a comfortable posture while you create.

6. Add the high intensity DreamBeam light — Never worry about light again as the light is always with you!
