Recommendations for the Partially-Sighted

These are the most powerful magnifiers AND the best optical quality for reading. But please do remember that size and magnification are linked: larger size = lower magnification; higher magnification = smaller size, there simply isn't any choice about this. It is best to start with the largest (weakest) magnifier because it covers the largest reading area, and then, if you really have to, upgrade to a more powerful, but smaller, magnifier.

 Click on the picture to see the products. These are the very best quality, genuine Eschenbach and Schweizer, recommended for the partially sighted - but you don't have to be partially sighted to use these! If you need a magnifier 'for just a little help' and you want the best, then go for one of these. |
 Click on the picture to see the products. It's not just Germany that makes 'the best' magnifiers, there are a handful of French (and Chinese) models that are giving the Germans a close run when it comes to optical quality. |
 Click on the pictured to see the products. Here is my selection of 'standard' magnifiers (from various countries in the Far East) which I consider better than average, suitable for the partially sighted providing the eyesight isn't very poor. The bottom line is: you will never get the stunning quality of a £50.00 magnifier when you spend £5.00 to £15.00, but if your budget is low, choose from this section rather than spend time browsing the dozens of magnifiers in other sections of this web site. |
