Magnifying Glass with 12 LED Lights, 30X Double Glass Lens Handheld Illuminated Magnifier Reading Magnifying Glass with for Seniors Read, Coins, Stamps, Map, Inspection, Macular Degeneration

I am 80 years but I still have good eyesight except for the smaller, lighter print or on colored background which does not provide good contrast and some of which seems designed to make it difficult to read. I have reading glasses & the magnifier app on my iPhone but sometimes I need a little more. Reading glasses are good except for the small, light fine print & the camera on the iPhone is off center so I am always searching for my target but it is handy. I have a couple of the Acrylic lens magnifiers which are advertised as good as glass but they are not. They are usually unclear & easily scratched so I wanted a lens of real glass but they often come from scientific firms & cost Big Bucks. This Real Glass magnifier matches my needs. **This 30X magnifying glass is heavy & bulky with a wide handle so it could be a task to use for long periods of time but the image is Clear, the 30X magnification much, much better than anything from the big box store, you are looking right through the Large lens so no issue finding what you want to enlarge, the 12 White LED lights provide bright, even lighting & the lens is Real Glass. I think magnification comes from having 2 lens a distance apart rather than a single solid lens but IT WORKS. **The switch is a large convenient slide switch which is easy to operate. This item is so inexpensive that I have to question its durability because it is so inexpensive but so far I have no other reason to believe that it will not be durable. It uses 2 AA batteries & the battery compartment is easy to access. The lights are LED so 2 AA batteries should last quite some time & the lights themselves should last a long time. It comes in a somewhat thin plastic bag with a flap which will be resealable for a few dozen times which is inside of a fairly sturdy cardboard box. I store it back inside of both but I wish they had an option for a cloth bag or an easy open, lined hard-shell case such as eyeglasses often come in. From the picture I had thought the white plastic might look cheap but in reality the white with a wide black band around the lens on top looks nice. **I am likely to buy a couple more to keep in different locations since it is not the most portable of items. I definitely recommend this 30X REAL GLASS magnifier to anyone who needs such & it is inexpensive enough that even if you dont need but just want one, it is a good buy.

Just as advertised

Typical of most handheld glasses, magnification only works if the glass is within 5 to 6 inches of the object. Blurs after that. The 12 LEDs put out too much light for looking directly at some objects. But it does what its supposed to do.

This is the best magnifying glass and the light is so bright I actually used it for a flashlight to help my husband find something he had dropped on the floor. I have an eye disease and reading is extremely difficult. I also am working in genealogy and print is very small and faded, and in some cases of cursive writing from 1700 very hard to distinguish each letter. The magnifying glass with it’s very bright light has made it easier to decipher what I am reading.

Great magnifier its just what I needed.

Read the description & look at the photos. This magnifier arrives exactly as described. Highly recommend it!

Very bright great magnification but very heavy

Good product

I bought this glass to read maps as I travel. I find I use it for almost ALL small print and I use the much needed light to bring clarity to my reading. Its a tad to heavy and the handle is short, the round glass is small, could be bigger. saying all that, I am still very satisfied with my purchase. Not complaining but giving my opinion.

This magnifying glass was bigger than I thought when I ordered but honestly it is just right. I like that it has lights so you can see what you are looking at and that the words and letters are big enough to see. Only thing I dont like is it is sort of heavy to hold for a long amount of time.
