10x Magnifier

It is best to have your low vision specialist recommend the magnifying power that you need.

Low Vision Magnifiers

1) What task you will use the magnifier for and

2) What period of time you will need to use it.

If it is for just spot checking or for a brief period of time like checking a bill, looking up an address, reading a label, or seeing a photograph, then a hand held magnifier is great.

If the task requires a longer period of time, like reading a book or working on a hobby, use a hands free magnifier.

10x Magnifying Glass

The lower the power of the magnifier, the larger the field of view. The larger the power of the magnifier like a 10 x magnifying glass, the smaller the field of vision.

For this reason, you always want to select the weakest magnifier that you can use without eye strain.

The availability of good lighting will allow a person to use a lower powered magnifier than if there is poor lighting.

Have you noticed that when you were struggling to read something, that as soon as you put it under a bright lamp or brought it to a sunny window that all of sudden you could see it better?

Select a magnifier that also provides light. Or be sure to use your magnifier where you also have a good lighting such as Ott lights or an adjustable swing arm lamp or a gooseneck light.

Here you will find a selection of 10 x Magnifiers.
