Hands Free Magnifier
| A hands free magnifier can allow you to read, sew or do your favorite hobby without having to hold a magnifier. |
As your macular degeneration progresses you will need different magnifiers for different tasks.
Magnifier Glasses Hands Free
A handheld magnifier is good for briefly looking at a photo, reading a label or a price tag, but it can quickly be problematic if you are trying to use your hands and use the magnifier at the same time. There are several magnifier glasses that are hands free to choose from. Sometimes you will just need to try different styles to find out what you like best. Inquire about the return policy before you buy so that you can return the magnifier if it doesn't meet your needs. A hands free magnifier can come in many styles. First identify what task you will use the magnifier for, what magnifying power you need and then try the one you think will work best.
Page magnifiers make it easier to read books, magazines or newspapers. Use a hand held magnifying glass for spot reading - like can labels, instructions, a bill or a short note- but for extended reading a full page magnifier is best.
