Magnifying Glass with Light, 30X Handheld Large Magnifying Glass 12 LED Illuminated Lighted Magnifier for Macular Degeneration Seniors Reading Inspection Coins Jewelry

Works great and quick delivery.

I gave them to a 96 year old who lost his regular one. He loved the light in this one.

Being a bit older now (66), this magnifying glass fits very nicely in my hands and does exactly what I need it to do...make small print easier to read.

I put the two AA-size batteries in and turned them on. Worked so well that I ordered three more. Now I have one in every room that I read in!

Heavy, good that lens is glass not plastic so less apt to scratch, image distortion around the perimeter which is distracting. Magnification is at most 3X. Its OK for casual use but not great.

I liked this so much that I ordered a second one. It is really handy to read any kind of small print on labels or whatever. Great for anyone to have on hand.

I got this to read fine print, which I don’t see as well as I once did. Overall, a decent magnifier that’s up to this task. Pros • Clear image • Uniform image quality across most of the field of view Cons • A bit on the heavy side, but that’s what obtains with a glass lens • Battery cover can be a bit difficult to open • The light could be a bit brighter—but this isn’t a serious shortcoming • Magnification is much closer to 3× than to the stated 30× I have difficulty believing that the 30× magnification is a mistake rather than intentionally misleading advertising. For several reasons, it’s simply impossible to have a true 30× magnifier with an 80 mm lens. A rigorous determination of the actual magnification isn’t difficult, but a very simple test suffices to show that this magnifier isn’t anywhere close to 30×: if 12 point type were viewed with a true 30× magnifier, it would appear to be 5″ high, which clearly isn’t the case here. And frankly, who would want it to be? For most people for most of the uses mentioned here, there is little use for more than 3–4× magnification. Higher-powered magnifiers—usually called loupes—have their uses, but the greater magnification comes at a cost. As magnification increases, the field of view and working distance decrease. And the depth of field decreases, making it imperative to keep the distance very constant. And a good loupe is considerably more expensive. If you want to examine gems or the stylus on a phono cartridge (assuming you’ve even heard of the latter), this isn’t the right tool. But for us older folks who insist on reading the fine print, this magnifier works just fine—and I would recommend it.

Great for reading fine print

I have RA so it’s easy to hold. The magnification is good.
