Which Magnifiers Work Best in Different Circumstances?

Different types of low vision devices also can help in different circumstances:

• A student might need a camera-like telescopic device attached to a portable video camera magnifier to capture an image at the front of the classroom. That image then can be enlarged on a monitor on the student's desktop.

• A mechanic might benefit from a magnifier mounted on prescription eyeglasses, so that hands remain free to work.

• A handheld magnifier is portable and easy to use when needs are simple. As an example, handheld magnifiers are ideal for checking product labels at the grocery store or quickly looking over the mail.

"There is a lot of confusion about the size of devices and the power they have," says Lylas G. Mogk, MD, founding director of the Visual Rehabilitation and Research Center of the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit.

Dr. Mogk, an internationally recognized expert on macular degeneration, also is author of the book: Macular Degeneration: The Complete Guide to Maximizing and Saving Your Sight.

"Often people will say, 'Well, this one is a 3x and that one is a 6x. So I want the one that's a 6x.' But the disadvantage of magnifiers with higher power is that you then see a much smaller area," she says. "As a general rule, you want the magnifier with the least power you can get away with, in exchange for the largest area you are able to see."

If you are an avid reader, you will find that simple magnifiers are inadequate to help you sustain the concentration needed for an extended time period.

A small, handheld magnifier greatly enlarges a few words or sentences on a page. But reading something like a novel requires an expanded field of view and the ability to scan ahead in order to see and process information quickly.

Another limitation of handheld magnifiers is that they can't be used for task-specific activities such as knitting, which requires both hands to be free. In this case, you would need a magnifier on a stand that can be easily positioned where you need it.
