Thank You I found this very helpful. Now the hunt is on.

Thanks! Choosing a magnifying glass is a real puzzle for me. My problem is the visual field, which is only 4 degrees, then photophobia. So I use electronic magnifiers to adjust the contrast and also to invert the colors and thus be able to read and write...

I has some magnifiers. My grandpa had a big and heavy 2x that he used for newspaper reading. As a police detective, a standard French MAPED 3x is enough for most applications, as check fake money, documents, maps, crime scene pictures, gun serial numbers or vehicle motor/frame numbers. The "Sherlock Holmes" style is useless for me, but was the my grandpa's choice for reading.

Shows how no two magnifiers are the same. I can imagine how overwhelming and confusing they can be to someone who’s never used one before.

Good video Sam! When I was younger, I went to a low vision specialists, and I got RX for different magnifiers. I haven't gotten a new magnifier for a while because I use my Iphone so much.

This video was great thanks. I have some of the magnifiers too I use them a lot

💯 He is so right the plastic page mag never buy them no no no. They don't work.

I use an eschenbach video digital magnifier. It is somewhat bulky with a large 5 inch screen. I can also use wezoom on my phone

Thank you

I have taken up painting by numbers as a hobby, I already wear glasses & would love to know if I bought, maybe one of the headband magnifiers if they'd be of any use to me. If I've magnified the area I'm painting, the paintbrush would be magnified too, wouldn't it? I just don't know how that would help me. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thank you. This is very helpful. I need something for my dad.

I use an electron microscope lens...works great! But a bit heavy * good vid 👍

I prefer the rectangular magnifying because to me it is better than reading text and also like you said in the video the smaller the magnifier is the more magnification that you get I recommend the small magnifying of the smallest magnifier

Thanks for the awesome, informative yet short video, especially for the suggestion for not buying the page magnifiers . i was almost about buy one for my grandpa, who loves reading but is facing problems due to age related complicacies. Can you please suggest a good magnifier, which can be used for reading books at length, preferably handsfree (??)....difficult to hold those for an extended time. Are the bar magnifiers by Carson (~6" length) a good one for book reading? Please do let me know!

Great thanks Sam. Please can you do a video on monoculars. xx

Wish I’d seen this before I got my page magnifier.... you are correct about it...

Thanks for a helpful video.

Where I would purchase magnifier in India

Need. page magnifire price please?

I remember when I was looking for magnifiers.

Hi Sam I need a magnifier for reading my laptop screen so desk top freestanding type but haven’t a clue what to get ?

Hi sir

I cant find a magnifier bigger than 30x. Is this the biggest?

I found you through Blind to Billionaire.

Whenever I have purchased from MaxiAids, they have asked me to pay twice. Do not do it. On the other hand they are the only site to carry a white wooden cane. I like the cane better than the whisker canes for my level of vision. If you have the money the video magnifiers are the best by far.

the page magnifier has never worked for me the bar magnifiers never worked for me either and that is something they kept throwing at me in school they even threw some oval look at magnifiers at me that you put on top of the paper and move across words and it did not even magnify at all magnifiers that you buy in a regular store don't even work for me I'm at a loss of where to find something that will work in my situation I've been to the doctor and they recommended things for me but I don't even know where to find any of the stuff they recommended because I'm not all that good with all this low vision stuff because I really didn't have the opportunity to have the right kind of equipment whenever I was little even though I was born with this problem,so now that I'm an adult I'm more lost than ever at the saint with things. I've got a question for you about the TalkBack feature plus the voice over feature to I'm actually in the process of trying to find a new phone that would work for me and I need some help and some advice on what to do with here if you could please message me back either on here or possibly on Facebook because I believe that I messaged you that way before by the way this is Heather Marie Aucoin it says Joshua in the back of my name only because we share this KZfaq channel the way I wrote my name though is how you could find it on messenger and on the other page that I mentioned that the thing I just mentioned is apart of he's also got vision problems,but nowhere near as bad as mine though I'm sorry for the message not making sense if it don't I've been having problems with my voice features on this phone and its really irking my nerves in away too I don't know if it's because of my accent due to the fact that I'm Cajun and it might not understand me and that I'm from down south Louisiana or what,but it messes up things alot and I'm not sure if it messed up on this message or not,but I hear that from people a lot so I'm just giving you the heads-up just in case it did that thanks for understanding my situation and I hope you're able to help me out here.

How to delete an image eyoyo portable magnifier

Why may I ask you always select the Ruby and never mention Humanware? That's a Canadian outfit is that why? Thank you

I don’t know if you’re still tracking comments on this video, in case you happen to be, my question is why are there so many magnifying glasses on Amazon that say 30 X and 40 X magnification, is that just false advertisement

Do not torget the possibility of using your mobile wih a magnifying app!

Do you know of any budget friendly electronic ones? I'm letting my friend use mine, but I dont have 600 dollars to pay for one for him.

Those page magnifiers are just the worst. I’m glad I’m not the only person who felt that.
