Read mail, prescription labels, and price tags more easily at home or on the move with an electronic reader. Some models also feature advanced features like self-view mirror imaging for grooming purposes.
Portable
Electronic magnifiers offer many users an essential benefit: portability. Being able to easily travel and use this device anywhere is especially helpful for individuals living with macular degeneration or other forms of low vision impairments; whether reading restaurant menus, bank letters, grocery store price tags, etc. is what keeps independence alive! An electronic magnifier will enable users to continue doing what they love while maintaining independence.
Handheld portable video magnifiers are lightweight, easily transported devices with adjustable magnification powers of up to 12x. Available screen sizes range from around 3.5″ to 6.5″, offering adjustable magnification. Some handheld electronic magnifiers also include image capture capabilities and computer connectivity features as well as custom color mode and contrast selection features – some even allow users to wear their device around their neck for easier grab and go use.
As opposed to handheld electronic magnifiers, desktop video magnifiers tend to be larger devices designed for use at a desk or table. They typically come equipped with either a laptop-style monitor or flat screen that connects directly to your computer for use as a flat screen monitor. Many desktop electronic magnifiers boast powerful advanced features as well as numerous viewing modes designed to facilitate various tasks including reading, distance-view, self-view (mirror imaging for grooming), etc.
University of Manchester Royal Eye Hospital conducted research that demonstrated how portable electronic vision enhancement systems (p-EVESs) proved significantly more effective than existing optical aids at improving near vision activities such as reading and writing. p-EVES devices were also easier to use than optical magnifiers alone, suggesting they can serve an essential role in complementing existing optical aids to help people with visual impairment complete near vision tasks more quickly and easily. They provide an economical alternative to expensive lenses. The study involved a two-arm cross-over randomised controlled trial involving 100 experienced users recruited from a local low vision clinic to assess the effects of p-EVES devices.
Easy to Use
Electronic magnifiers for low vision are straightforward devices designed for ease of use, offering multiple magnification levels. You can hold one comfortably in the palm of your hand and enjoy features such as built-in lighting, reading magnification adjustments, image capture capability and computer connectivity as well as adjustable color mode and contrast settings – some models even include full page text-to-speech capabilities!
The Compact 10 HD Speech handheld magnifier combines the benefits of desktop video magnifiers with an easy and convenient design to make it effortless to use and store. Unlike traditional handheld magnifiers that only provide viewing via a small screen, this magnifier uses a purposefully designed swing-out camera that captures documents or photographs of any size to display onscreen with just one tap, perfect for reading price tags, menus, newspaper articles and medication labels.
Surface magnifiers, also known as portable electronic magnifiers, can help with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping as well as reading maps, recipes, medication labels or prescription drug bottles.
