TECMEN MAGNIFYING LENS

Magnifying welding lenses are a type of lens that provides a clearer view by magnifying the work area. They are often referred to as cheater lenses because they are designed to “cheat” the natural ageing process of the eyes and improve the clarity of the welder’s vision.

These lenses come in various magnification strengths, typically ranging from +0.75 to +3.00 diopters. The diopter strength is chosen based on the welder’s personal vision needs and the specific requirements of the welding job. The lenses are typically made of glass or plastic and can be easily inserted into the welding helmet lens holder.

The use of magnifying welding lenses can provide significant benefits for welders, particularly those who are ageing and experiencing presbyopia (the natural loss of near vision that occurs with age). By magnifying the work area, these lenses can improve visibility and help welders see details more clearly. This can lead to improved welding accuracy, efficiency, and overall quality.

However, it is important to note that the use of magnifying welding lenses does not replace the need for proper eye protection. Welders should always wear appropriate eye protection. Such as a welding helmet with a shade lens, in addition to magnifying lenses.

Tecmen magnifiers fit most helmets that use 108mm x 51mm (4¼ ” x 2″) lenses and are available in a range of diopter strengths from 1.00 to 2.75.
