5x MagnifierA 5x magnifier can come in many different styles - from floor lamp magnifiers to wallet size magnifiers. As your macular degeneration progresses you will need more magnification and more light.
Low Vision MagnifiersBefore you purchase your magnifier there are two things you need to know ...1) what you task your are going to use it for and 2) what power magnification do you need. Your low vision specialist can recommend what is best for you. If the task is for just for a brief period of time like looking at a bill, reading a recipe, checking a label, or seeing a menu, then a hand held magnifier is best. Consider one that is lighted so that you get light and magnification. When the task is for a longer period of time, like reading a book or working on a hobby, use a hands free magnifier. Hands free magnifiers can be a floor lamp magnifier, a swing arm magnifier lamp or an illuminated neck magnifier
You will need different magnifiers for different tasks. Here is a selection of only 5x Magnifying Glass
