Magnifiers                 

Magnifiers come in different shapes and sizes, with a range of power magnifications, with light or without light, with handle, without handle, hands free, etc.

Magnifiers should be prescribed by an Optometrists who would take into consideration the cause of the visual loss, the distance at which the magnifications have to be used, the optimum power, the need or not need for lighting, etc.

Like every new device, people cannot learn how to use magnifiers from one day to another, but rather after practicing, using them in a daily basis and getting familiar with them.

These are some examples of types of magnifiers:
