Hints for success

Most people use hand-held magnifiers by holding them down over and close to the reading. Stronger magnifiers require a different way. One, if you wear bifocals or trifocals, try taking them off, as multi focal lenses create distortions when looking through a magnifier. Two, and this is important, hold the magnifier up to your better eye touching the side of your nose and bring what you are looking at up close to your face. Find the focus by adjusting the distance between the reading and the lens. The best way to do this is to rest the magnifier against your nose and move the paper in or out with the other hand until the image is sharp. The reward is that this method lets you see a wider field, that is, more words. Try doing this with something light and relatively stiff paper to see how it works. The stronger the magnifier, the closer to your face will you hold the paper to be in focus. Call us with questions. I am sure we can help you find success.

SMARTmag 3x Stand

$106.00
This 100mm x 75mm rectangular stand magnifier has a 3x 8D lens and a bright white light. Stand magnifiers are also called fixed focus magnifiers, because they have a structure that allows you to lay them flat on the reading material. You do not lift them from the reading material but look down into them. In this position, they have maximum focus. Stand magnifiers have flashlight-stye handles which hold the batteries. This magnifier uses three Double A batteries. The LED light, switches, and battery compartment parts have a lifetime warranty. This is a good magnifier for someone who just needs a little extra light and magnification, as they read mail, newspapers, or look at photo albums. For a small additional price, Contrast Yellow is available as well as an even brighter, Halo LED in White, Yellow, Plum, and Blue.

SMARTmag 3x Pocket

$78.00

The weaker magnifiers achieve focus further from the lens. With stronger magnifiers, focus becomes progressively closer to the lens. This magnifier is also available with a Contrast Yellow light.
