Page Magnifiers and Book Magnifier

As your macular degeneration progresses you will need different magnifiers for different tasks... and you will need more light and more magnification. Rather than give up hobbies or tasks you enjoy, find ways to adapt. Using different magnifiers for different tasks will keep you reading and doing the things you enjoy.

There are several options for those of you needing a book magnifier:

1. Full Page Magnifier - Magnifies 2x

2. Electronic Book Readers - Like a Kindle Reader, Barnes and Noble Nook or Apple's iPad; They offer several options for magnifying the font and adjusting the contrast

3. Low Vision CCTV - has the largest viewing screen, up to 22" and the ability to magnify up to 75X.

Some have four legs so you can place the hands free magnifier directly over the book or paper.

Some are lighted to illuminate your reading material.

Select ones using optical grade acrylic that are rigid like glass and will not bend or distort the image.
