[B-Greek] OT: Magnification Required

My wife using one, made of plastic. The problem is it gets scratch easy.

I got 4.5" round glass one with 3.5 diopter from Cone Instrument. The
problem: a little heavy side and the mag is not enough for my wife and not
enough for OED micro font.  OED (2 volume) minification set has one
rectangular lens which is fit for our purpose, but I have lost it long ago.
I do not remember it was plastic.

Now I am looking for the model 3" in glass 4.5 diopter.

Oun.

It would be nice to have a rectangular one with lighted (on battery power)
and you have to just put on the book rather than holding it. I'm talking
about a wishful thinking.
