Swing Arm Magnifying Lamp

I want to buy a swing lamp for my mom who has wet AMD.

What is the best lamp to get her? One eye is very bad and the other is going bad.

Hi John,

Thanks for your question. Getting an adjustable lamp for your mom - (for Mother's Day?) is a great idea. I would suggest that you get one that also provides magnification.

The one that has some of the best reviews is from FirstStreet. This is the one we purchased for my father-in-law who has wet macular degeneration. The combination of bright LED lights, an adjustable arm and magnification makes it a great reading or hobby aid for those with vision loss.

Here is a link to their website and to the floor lamp magnifier that is adjustable.
