Bought for my mother who is blind in one eye. She loves it. Helps her see pictures and newspapers.

My wife and I live in Southeast Louisiana (New Orleans) and have to be prepared to evacuate our home because of an approaching hurricane. Because of numerous natural roadblocks around us that limit the number of possible evacuation routes out of the city, such as the Mississippi River, Lake Pontchartrain and other connected lakes, bayous, swamps and wetlands, it is of critical importance for us to pre-plan and know how to drive to our primary or secondary evacuation routes, as well as how to get to emergency back-up evacuation routes we can take to get out of the city. There are also only three possible evacuation directions in New Orleans; west (to family in Houston, TX), east (to family in Athens, GA), or north (to family in Louisville, KY). In case of bumper-to-bumper traffic jams that slow the progress of your evacuation to a crawl, or even a complete stop in the event of a multiple-vehicle accident, vehicles engines overheating and stalling, or vehicles running out of fuel because the driver forgot to fill-up before leaving, having those multiple escape routes in all three directions is a must. To help with that process, I prefer to use the most current Rand McNally State road maps in their Easy-to-Fold style because they are covered with a heavy duty plastic that you can write on with erasable color markers to highlight the specific evacuation routes with one color for primary routes, a different color for secondary routes, and a third color for emergency escape routes that might have less traffic than the better known and regularly used routes. As my birthday cakes continue to crowd more and more candles on their top, growing brighter and brighter with the passing of time, my eyesight, unfortunately, seems to be getting dimmer and dimmer. I now need at least 3X power magnification to be able to see and read the road maps clearly, and if it is at night or overcast daytime weather when Im using these maps. I took care of that situation when I ordered a MagniPros 3X, Almost Half-Page Viewing Area 4-1/5x 7, LED Illuminated Page Magnifier with 12 Anti-Glare Dimmable LEDs. This page magnifier works very well for me, enlarging the small print typeface used on most maps so I can read them much more easily. The 12 Dimmable LEDs allow me to select the exact level of illumination for the existing conditions, whether in the darkness of night or reduced lighting when skies are overcast, without creating glare on the map and making it difficult to read. This MagniPros 3X Illuminated Page Magnifier is also a very convenient size, fitting easily into the Utility Pouch in which I also store and carry my Rand McNally State Road Maps, color erasable markers and other navigating tools. Powered by three common 1.5V AA batteries, either alkaline or rechargeable Ni-MH or Li-ion 1.5V AA batteries, this very affordable 3X LED Illuminated Page Magnifier is not expensive to use. It brightens my maps for these getting older eyes and dots all the is and crosses all the ts for my magnified illumination needs. I am so glad I bought it. If you have similar needs, Buy It Now, and I believe youll be as pleased with it as I was!

The product is good for enlarging some regular, small print. The lighting is very helpful. But the product is not good for the real fine.looking print. That printing just looks like enlarged dots. Would need a stronger magnifier for the ‘dot’ looking print.

I like it. Thanks

I have glaucoma. My vision changes sometimes and makes it hard to read print. This product allows me to read my favorite books

You have to move it up and down to focus. You can’t just lay it on a page to in large it. Like you would like to read a book

So far - only day 1, - the lens seems fine. I am really puzzled by the care directions, which say to clean it using the enclosed cleaning pouch. The pouch isnt big enough for the lens (well, if it were just the lens, I suppose it would be, but Im not about to try to take the whole thing apart). If it isnt going into the pouch, why is it a pouch and not just a cleaning cloth? (This reminds me of the Made in China, sold by Amazon alarm clock which came with a set of directions that do not apply to the clock I bought.). Doesnt anybody check these things out?

Doesn’t magnify as large as I though it would

IT IS A GOOD SIZE AND EASY TO HOLD
