A customer contacted us this week convinced they needed a "2x monocle."
The problem?
They were looking at a +2.00D lens.
Those two things are very different.
It's one of the most common misconceptions we see. Dioptres, magnification, working distance... the terminology can quickly become confusing if you're new to monocles and reading lenses.
Rather than answer it once, we decided to create a simple guide that explains exactly how lens powers relate to magnification and what you can realistically expect from each.
If you've ever wondered whether a +2.00 lens means 2x magnification, this article may save you from ordering the wrong monocle.
