FAQ: I wear progressive lenses or bifocals. How does that work with CraftOptics?

How to attach the DreamBeam Light to your CraftOptics

Make sure your DreamBeam snaps onto the hinge between the magnifiers — not just onto the PD knob — and clip the light wire to your eyewear retainer strap behind you.

If the magnifiers aren’t sitting all the way down, they won’t align properly with your line of sight. The closer they are to your eyes, the larger your field of view.
