Eschenbach Visolux+ 3x Lighted Stand Magnifier

Some reading is simply easier without a screen. The Visolux+ is a lighted 3x magnifier that rests right on the page, so there is nothing to hold steady while you read the mail, a favorite book or the back of a photograph.

Its lens is unusually large for this strength, about 100 x 75 mm, so more of the line is in view at once. Two LED lights brighten the page evenly, and a built-in orange filter slides over them when a softer, warmer light is more comfortable.

• 3x magnification
• Large 100 x 75 mm lens
• Two LED lights with a slide-in warm (orange) filter
• Light turns off on its own after 30 minutes
• Runs on three AA batteries
• Hard foam case for storage

Choosing a magnifier is personal. If reading has become harder lately, an eye care professional can help you decide which type and strength suits you.
