This magnifier really isn’t a magnifier in the true sense of the word. I would call it a enlarger. If you were reading a book and needed the font to be a little larger this would work.
Mu husband has low vision and has to magnify small print. This magnifier has excellent magnification! It is easy to use and I bought a 2nd one for his to always keep in his office. This is a great resource for anyone with a visual impairment.
I was given perfect directions to find the magnifiers. Then the staff member can there to see if I needed help. There was friendly help with discussion of the merits. Assistance was perfect.
My father is in his eighties and has difficulty reading anything. This didn't work any better than reader glasses which he already has. There is some image distortion around the edges. The 2x magnification just isn't enough for him.
