I presently use an old Edroy that works well but has too short a working

Are there any grades between the $35 B&L and the $350 Zeiss?

The Optivisors are much better than the B&L at about 1-1/2X the price.
The have excellent glass lenses and a better head band. The head band
could be better, but it works just fine. The B&L head band is a POS;
the lenses are acrylic and make me feel cross-eyed.
