What a fantastic aid is the Classic Magnifier from the OT Stores online shop. Not only for people who may be starting to suffer from declining sight, but also for those of us who enjoy normal sight but need to look closely at something which could be associated with a hobby, model making for instance.

The classic magnifier is a traditional round shape and having 2 x magnification, can be used for virtually any purpose, and is easily held in the hand. Other magnifying products help those who require help through loss of normal sight in the form of sheet magnifiers and page magnifiers, particularly useful when reading newspapers. Although these products are undoubtedly an aid for poor sight, it should be stressed that they are not substitutes for prescribed eye glasses.

One of the problems that come to us all, with advancing years, is the gradual inability to see smaller print in books and papers as well as other small objects. Reading or sight glasses are of course essential to those who may be starting to suffer from visual impairment, but often these are not enough when trying to read small print, particularly in winter when the natural light is not at its best.

A simple and inexpensive solution to the problem is using our Classic Magnifier XMAG-0001 which gives the user twice magnification, making even the smallest print easy to read and just one of our many visual aids. The “Classic” is a traditional style magnifier with a smooth rim in chrome finish with a smooth spherical handle designed for user comfort. At only £6.94 including VAT, this sight aid is something that will be used time and again, helping to overcome the difficulty of reading that tiny print.
