Why we know this works!

We love this brightfield magnifier because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see how a tremor or a weak grip can turn an ordinary magnifying glass into a moving target. What is the best magnifier for shaky hands? One that never has to be held in the air: the Macrolux rests directly on the book or newspaper, so you simply slide it along the line while the LED light brightens the print. The lens is distortion free from edge to edge, and it comes in 2.2x and 3.6x strengths with a small microfiber bag for travel. It is especially useful for people with Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, or hand arthritis on top of low vision. It only works on flat material like a book on a table, so for reading price tags and menus out in the world, carry the Mobilux Handheld Magnifier instead.
