Eschenbach Black Shell Handle Hand Magnifier 2.5x with Additional lens

Hand Magnifier

• Place the magnifier on the page to be read
• Whilst wearing your normal spectacles, if you have them, move the magnifier towards you from the page until the image is clear. 
• If you have a powerful magnifier it will need to be fairly close to your eye with the material close to the magnifier to obtain a clear image.
• With magnification it can become hard to use both eyes together because your nose gets in the way. Put the magnifying lens in front of your best eye. If you use the right eye only for instance, hold the object directly in front of your right eye.
• With most magnifiers the field of view, can be made wider …seeing more letters for instance…. by holding the magnifier and the object or book closer.  A little trial and error may be needed to get the most comfortable position.
• It can be easier to move the reading material from side to side rather than the magnifier as this helps to keep the optimum reading position in place.
• Use your finger to help keep your place on text if you view only a part of the text at once due to the size of the magnifier
• Supporting your reading material on a flat surface such as a table or specially designed reading stand can aid the vision process to keep it steady and flat for use with the magnifier.
