Jeff gives you a brief summary of CraftOptics products and how they work. For a more detailed discussion, see the video “All about CraftOptics Magnifying Eyeglasses & DreamBeam Light”.

A walk through the easy online ordering process. No need to have your prescription on hand to order–we’ll call your optometrist for it or you can email a photo of it after placing your order!

Your questions are answered in this thorough (that means a bit long) video description of how CraftOptics will help you magnify and light your creative projects. Jeff walks you through our product line and discusses prescriptions, working distances, the DreamBeam Light and most other common questions people have about CraftOptics.

Real delight is hard to hide. See Wyatt White, Tammy Honaman, and Lisa Gralnick as they react to working with their CraftOptics!

CraftOptics Telescopes work WITH whatever correction you wear, be it a prescription or just readers. So, we install your normal prescription or reader into the frames. If you wear progressives, we install that same correction but as a bifocal for optimal clarity, as Jeff explains. This way, when you look above the telescopes or flip them up, you can see as you normally do!

If you wear only readers, we install that reading correction in the frames.

Get set up the right way for maximum delight!

• Attach the light properly to the telescopes (put the wire behind you – don’t let the it hang).
• Wear the glasses all the way up–don’t slide them down  your nose like readers.
• Avoid sitting too close to your work. The magnifying telescopes are designed to work at a certain distance. We all have the habit of leaning closer to our work. When wearing CraftOptics, this has a negative effect on clarity. If things don’t look right, sit back a bit instead of leaning in.
• Look ABOVE the telescopes when grabbing tools, etc. Don’t look through the telescopes to search around your work area.

What’s in the box? What do you do when they arrive? Jeff shows you how to get things started with your brand new set of CraftOptics Magnifying Telescopes & DreamBeam! Learn how to:

• Put on and take off your CraftOptics.
• Attach and use the DreamBeam (HINT: put the light wire BEHIND you and clip it to your shirt).
• Look THROUGH your magnifying telescopes to see your work, and look ABOVE them to see around your work area.
• Sit at the right working distance.

Watch Lisa’s reaction when she tries her new set of CraftOptics Magnifying Telescopes & DreamBeam for the first time. We think you’ll agree she is quite happy!

Be sure to attach your DreamBeam properly. It all starts by making sure it is snapped onto the hinge between the telescopes and not onto the PD knob, and putting the light wire behind you.

A properly adjusted nosepad will make all the difference in making your CraftOptics Magnifying Telescopes comfortable. Most people do the exact opposite of what you want–they squeeze the nosepads together. With CraftOptics, you want to widen them a bit so the frames “hang” on the bridge of your nose. Check out the video!
