6" BAR MAGNIFIER WITH LIGHT

Okay, I’ve had cataract surgery and only needed mild reading glasses afterward. But there are materials that are part of my job that even the young eyes strain to see. This is perfect and helps with magnification, extra light and keeping you on the right line. I love it.

I like that it's small enough to handle with one hand. I like the line printed on it. But it's too light and the color should have been black, not yellow. I had to go over it with a dark marker. The fact that it has a light makes it handy to read in dim areas . I like that it has a handle to hold and not use the lens itself. For the price, it's not bad as a gift for someone that can't read small print on occasions. To read pages, well, that becomes uncomfortable after a while.

I purchased this item for a friend who is going blind. The extra light is helping her read her Bible and knitting patterns! I'm glad I got it for her.

What a waste of money this was!! If I could have given it negative stars I certainly would have, just for the waiting, the disappointment & the fact that I still don’t have a line magnifier. First at, the battery compartment was so hard to get into I had to pry it open with several household items. A sharp scissors finally worked. When I actually tried it I was even more disappointed. The magnification was so distorted I could hardly read the material I was trying to read more comfortably. The yellow highlighting bar didn’t help at all because it had its own level of distortion. This was a total waste of money. More expensive isn’t always better. I would return it, but I’m elderly and can’t get out to a UPS store. Also - I wasn’t expecting a problem with such a straightforward item so I destroyed the packaging. Save your money when it comes to this!

The design of this is good for reading line by line. My mother seemed to be pleased with the device to help her see reading print better.

Bought for my wife, who found the distorted and unclear, as well as the lighting too bright. Very cheaply made, so battery door open/close is difficult.

Lens Falls out of holder

Yellow line place keeper is helpful. Magnifier is sufficient with the light to help read small print. Handy small magnifier came with it
