Folding Hand-held Magnifiers are used for things to be seen close up. They are designed for short term tasks such as reading menus, prices and medication and are pocket or handbag sized. They are very versatile, easy-to-use and portable and can be held in either hand above the print or object.  Folding Magnifying Glasses can be round, oblong or square.  The strengths available here range from 3.5x to 15x and the Folding Magnifiers either have integral plastic or leather cases.
