My guess is that these are very similar to a 2X telescopic converter that
goes onto a camera. They are Galilean telescopes or opera glasses adjusted
to be afocal. I would also guess that you will soon tire of them. You will
have to look directly at the screen without turning you head.

If you have opera glasses, NOT prism binoculars, try them. If you can stand
the small field of view, they may be what you want?

Yes, they work fine. I sell them myself as a low-vision aid and have
had great success with them.

Do you currently have glasses for distance viewing and have you had a
recent eye exam?  Do you have an eye disease that is causing reduced
acuity and did your eye doctor recommend the TV glasses?  How big is
your TV and how close do you sit to it.

If you need glasses for distance vision, then first try them for the
TV.  The TV magnifying gizmo is usually for people with eye disease and
reduced acuity that cannot be corrected by glasses.  A larger TV or
sitting closer would help as well.
