Carson 2x Power Rigid Frame 8.5x11 Inch Page Magnifier for Reading Newspapers, Magazines, Books and More (DM-21)

I have student with a vision impairment and he is loving it!

I initially reviewed this but got it mixed up with another product ordered the same day. I felt that the rigid frame did not meet a practical use if I had to hold this above a book or newspaper to get the magnification. It became more apparent because any tilting of the rigid page magnifier had a degree of distortion. I thought about placing some form of clip on all 4 sides to elevate it off the page to get some magnification but found other products that did not need my modification to work. I do not know how this could meet the needs of those reading a book, magazine or newspaper. I returned it.

It came broken I had to return it

IT TURNS OUT: that these things are directional - there is a front and a back. Who knew? (They didn't tell me, and I didn't see it in reviews.) So - the defective focus that I found on first use making it WORSE than no magnification, almost disappears if you turn it around. The prismatic part should face you. Other than the easy-to-scratch surface, I can now recommend it and added two stars. It's very convenient to one-hand use and store, and it covers a large area for reading. I would estimate it only loses 15% sharpness over the best headset magnifiers, of which I also recommend the Carson model as the lenses are extra wide for extra-wide coverage, at only about a 1/3 premium.

Standard text that I can read fine, when viewed through this, becomes unreadable. I don't see the point. It also either came scratched or got scratched merely handling it to get it out of the package. It may have brushed against the round plastic shift lever in my 2005 Explorer. I'd say stick to one of the better head set units for computer and other use - my conclusion and I'm pretty good at this. And make sure the lenses extend to cover your whole eye so you can see the whole device screen at once. I'm going to try these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007CDJKM2/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_5?smid=A3IKLWVVZGBDZ2&psc=1

Arrived on time, and working just well!

worthless. No matter how hard it tried to adjust, I could not read the fine print i purchased this product to read. Magnification is not what this product does. I plan to return it

Wonderful way to read from music stand.

You have to hold this a certain way to get it to magnify to be just right and legible. It is not great for taking notes or studying, as your hand cramps from trying to maintain that perfect level.

rápido y perfecto

Cette loupe en plastique dur est très pratique. mais le mode de livraison dans dans un sac en papier souple est inadapté. Le plastique présente une petite fêlure qui n'empêche pas l'utilisation de cette loupe. Une enveloppe en carton rigide aurait été mieux adaptée.

I got a set of floppy ones at the same time as this one, and there's an obvious difference. This would be great for making a magnifier for a phone - to make a small tv for kids. I'm gonna see about heating up my greenhouse with a few. I'll be safe about it, I'm just too curious and my pineapple is getting too cold ATM.

Si esta bien, sin embargo es caro para lo que es. Venia bien envuelto pero al abrirlo venia fracturado casi del centro de la mica, eso solo me dice una cosa,que fue envuelto con esa fractura desde la venta. Cumple su función pero luego de un tiempo duele la vista porque el aumento no es igual en toda la mica.

Loupe légère et pratique notamment pour lire une carte.
