Lashing giving me headache!

[lola67]

Hi All,
I have to wear glasses for reading, tv etc so wear them for lashing too. Recently I started to use the mag lamp as well so that I could get really close up, the problem I had with this is that the lamp is awkward to work under. So I bought a magnifying headset, now I find that after about 45 mins my eyes start to ache and by the end of the treatment I have a headache.
I definitely need some sort of magnification as well as my glasses, but can't think of anything else to use. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you in advance.........

Are you sure you need magnification rather than good lighting?

I wear contact lenses, but I cant lash with out my camping light I buy mine from Argos, not too expensive and they are on elastic that go around your head. The light then shines where ever you look, it really illuminates all those lil lashes that are hard to find without great lighting.

Just a thought

I used to get headaches until I started using magnifying glasses. I never lash without them and they have made the world of difference.
I use the ones by Nouveau. They may be a bit more expensive than others but they are worth every penny!
I got my lamp from Ikea but not sure if they do it anymore. Links below

Just found one so that you can see;

I use my mag lamp for extra lighting and I've brought some cheap reading glasses which are of a stronger perscription than my normal one to use as magnifyers. My opticians told me what strength to get and they are perfect and you can obviously buy them in all sorts of pretty designs

Thank you for your replies, I have been investigating since I posted and Angelina I have looked at these glasses online, they look much better than the headset I wear. Heather, funnily enough one of my colleagues suggested reading glasses at a stronger prescription so I think I will pay a visit to my optician and see what she says.
Thanks again.
