I4U Reading Glasses from Eyes For You

  • Frustrated by losing reading glasses

  • Inventor Creates emergency, unbreakable Reading Lenses that tuck in Money Clips, Books or Wallets. I4U measures 3.4" x 1.6'' and 0.10" thick and come in a patented protective soft lined pouch to protect against loss or scratching.

  • Designed for emergency convenience for those who misplace, forget or lose their reading glasses.

  • Contemporary rimless pinch-nose styled emergency glasses fit comfortably and securely on a nose bridge

  • Precision crafted for accurate magnification in diopter strengths 1.50, 2.00 and 2.50, lenses in 3.00 and 3.50 correction lenses are coming by the end of 2002.

  • 70 million Americans who wear reading glasses never need to be without their glasses again, now that emergency I4U Lenses are always available.

Herman, the inventor and a veteran of General Tire, General Motors and IBM is credited with many patents as a mathematician, mechanical engineer and programmer.

"I'm not alone in misplacing or forgetting my reading glasses. No one needs to be frustrated over lost, forgotten or misplaced glasses again. Everyone can be like me with emergency I4U lenses always in my wallet on hand to read menus, maps, telephone directories, sign documents, or dial numbers. I even keep a pair inside the book I'm currently reading and use them as a bookmark.''

Note from Sharla Hicks:
As a machine quilting and free-hand machine embroidery instructor, I recommend MagniStitch highly to my students because it improves their ability to see detail. The MagniStitch makes doing small detail areas easier and threading the sewing machine a snap. Students often are amazed by how much the MagniStitch improves their stitch quality and ability to control the needle and the sewing machine because their field of vision has enlarged."

Magnistitch makes sewing or any fine craft activity so much easier! This superbly designed magnifier makes sewing so much more pleasant, you'll wish someone had invented it years ago. Thread your needle and do fine detail work by hand or machine without strain. The distance between the magnifier and the bed of the sewing machine leaves plenty of room for fabric and fingers. The Magnifier attaches to any sewing machine even portable models. If you prefer, The Magnistitch magnifier can be attached to a cross-stitch or needlework hoop by using our clamp accessory. The clamp accessory must be purchased separately.

  • Magnistitch adjusts to any angle you prefer and enlarges everything you see to twice its actual size.
  • The 2" x 3" lens covers a wide working area. With Magnistitch you can thread the needle quickly, without fuss or bother...and you can see your stitching as you work.
  • Magnistitch attaches easily and permanently to cabinet and portable model sewing machines.
  • Magnistitch leaves plenty of room for fabric and fingers
  • The exclusive double-ball jointed arm lets you adjust the lens angle to suit your needs, and it stays in place. Also it snaps out of the ball attachment to be used as a hand-held magnifier.
  • Magnistitch can be permanently attached to a work lamp for fine hand sewing and needlecraft. OR: HINT: Buy an extra mounting feet or the clamp to allow one MagniStitch to be used at multiple locations.
