It helps to see nurse with eccentric clothing (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lorgnon

'it helps to see' is the definition.
(type of eyeglass)

'nurse with eccentric clothing' is the wordplay.
'nurse' becomes 'rgn' (abbreviation for Registered General Nurse).
'with eccentric' becomes 'loon' (I am not sure about the 'with' bit.**).
'clothing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'rgn' placed within 'loon' is 'LORGNON'.

(Another definition for lorgnon that I've seen is " Spectacles".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
