  While this magnifying lens (which is really a Fresnel lens) is very light and flexible: it does the job for me. Lately, it seems that the books I’m reading have increasingly small print (ugh!) and my glasses just aren’t cutting it. I’ve recently tried several different magnifying devices, without much success, and this one seems has been the most satisfying. Fortunately, the picture that Amazon provides gives a good representation of how it works – yes, one needs to hold it above the book; sure it bends (and distorts the text). Just the same, it does do the job (I bought mine for even less than Amazon’s price at a bookstore).

  For those expecting the perfect magnifier, this is not what many will want. It is; however, an extremely low cost alternative to a new pair of glasses. I am finding that I can generally read about half a page before having to shift the lens to a new position – that’s a lot better than having to continually move other magnifiers as one reads. In comparing it with a traditional magnifying class (which can, depending upon size and source) be far more expensive, this is rather inexpensive, albeit imperfect, way to keep feeding one’s reading habits without breaking the bank.

  The product should not be so flimsy, I have to concentrat on holding it and I loose my place in my book. So now I don’t use it all it’s done nothing for me. Somebody needs to come up with a new idea and better product.

  I bought this for my elderly mother. She found it to be totally useless in reading books. She said it was flimsy and you couldn’t read a page at a time with it.

  By full page they must have meant for a small paper back book. The magnifier is a thin sheet of plastic, and while it does magnify, the image is blurry. The frame is just black flexible vinyl. We wanted this to read maps and it did not help at all.

  My wife found this a very good magnifier to use the handle makes it easy to use and hold so she can use it for general larger print reading. For smaller print she needs something stronger.
