Portable Magnifier
Pocket Magnifying GlassIt is important to know which power magnification you need before you purchase any pocket magnifying glass. Select the weakest magnifier that will allow you to see without straining.A weaker magnifier will give you a larger viewing area than a stronger magnifier. Lighted Magnifying Glass
A lighted magnifying glass that easily folds up can be carried in your pocket or purse. As your macular degeneration progresses you will need more light as well as magnification. With more light, less magnification is needed. For example, perhaps you typically need a 10x magnifying glass in dim light. But with bright focused lighting you may only need 6 or 8x magnification. That's why my father-in-law who has wet macular degeneration prefers pocket magnifiers that light up ... and his favorite is an LED lighted magnifier. He was using a large magnifying glass that was not lighted, and now uses his LED lighted magnifier all the time. Go to MaxiAids now: Hand Held Magnifier - Electronic
