It is made in two parts that screw into each other to adjust for different eyesights. When I got it perfect for me I whacked a bit of gaffer tape on it to stop the screw rotation. The loupe has a chromed attachment post at the side for a neck strap, though this was not supplied with it. I use a shoelace threaded through there. What Chinese loupe are we speaking of?
