Headline Magnifiers

Description Stand magnifier.

People that have difficulty seeing objects, text or pictures close up, and who need to use their hands for a task such as writing or sewing may benefit from a stand magnifier.

A stand magnifier may also be a good choice for someone who cannot hold a handheld magnifier.

Stand magnifiers have ‘legs’ that stand over a page or object at a fixed distance.

Depending on the type of stand magnifier, the magnification range can be between 2x to 5x.

Stand magnifiers may be portable or fixed.

Some have internal LED lights.

Advantages of stand magnifiers are that:

The distance from the page or object is fixed A person can use both hands to carry out tasks Many stand magnifiers provide a larger field of view than handheld magnifiers.

The disadvantages of stand magnifiers are that:

They are usually larger and not as easy to carry around as handheld magnifiers The magnification range is limited, so they may not suit someone with very low vision.
