Carson Optical Lighted MagniFold 2X Handheld Magnifier: Customer Reviews & Product Details

The magnifier part of this product works once you accept the fact that it was designed for right handed people. My major complaint is with the lighted part. Instead of an LED the person who designed this product actually used an incandescent flashlight type bulb, the reason behind this design completely escapes me. Not only does this mean that the light produced is very weak compared to an LED but also the the bulb is far more fragile and will need to be replaced far more often.

If you, like myself, are looking for a lighted magnifier that produces a bright, white light then give this one a miss.

This is a nice magnifier and I really like it. Only thing is the batteries run out fast if you use it to read by. But for just everyday use of looking at labels or other things close up it is great and I like the folding handle.

Easy to use and hold for reading small print. Has light which helps if area not well lighted. Well made and does exactly what I wanted at a cheap price.

This magnifier is large enough to cover the width of a column in a magazine article. The handle folds down, making it easy to carry in the bag provided. It will fit easily into a shirt pocket.

I bought this magnifier for my dad who has lost vision due to macular degeneration. Unlike other magnifiers purchased, this one really works. It has made reading the newspaper and the mail much easier.
