A headband magnifier frees both hands for tweezers, capsules, sorting—the upgrade for collectors at the desk for hours without brutal neck strain.
Serious units offer swap lenses (10× / 20×) and front LEDs without old halogen forehead heat.
Real ergonomics
Set headband so lens sits 15–20 cm from eyes—too close = nausea.
