I returned it because I expected it to help me read an entire page faster than I can with a hand held magnifier. It did not and in fact it made reading a page more difficult because it was hard for me to steady it enough even using both hands to focus evenly on the text.
Thought this would be a great tool for my husband when he reads the paper but too much distortion and flare from this fresnel magnifier that shoots off from the center to one corner. Not worth it. Going to return it.
The magnifier worked a sheet at a time but was too heavy and too bulky to work for reading a book or a news paper. You could only read with it while sitting at a table to support the book or paper. A lighter sheet the size of a standard book page or one more easily held would be better.
Very helpful for those that can not see the small print. Very handy.

This is for my Aunt that likes to read. She is in the nursing home and has lots of reading material. This enlarges the print so that she is able to read it.
