Your loupe should not be more than 14 power. I use a 35 watt CFL and a 14x doublet. Once in a while I will use a 14x B&L Hastings triplet. Just so you know I do have vision problems also.

Maybe you can get a Plugable USB Scope instead? It will be much easier on your eye vision as well too. http://goccf.com/t/324645 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Plugable-U...ue#itemTitle
