Recommendations for the Partially-Sighted (incl. lenses)

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.

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.

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.
