5x Magnifier
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 the power that 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 works well. Lighted Magnifying GlassConsider a lighted magnifying glass so that you get light and magnification. As one's macular degeneration progresses, the need for light and magnification increases.My father-in-law who has wet macular degeneration finds that a magnifying glass with light makes it easier for him to read and to see details. Hands Free MagnifierWhen 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 Glasses.
