I need to buy a really good, but not too big or cumbersome magnifying glass for my granny. Her vision is not like it used to be and I thought it would be a good ide to buy her a magnifying glass to help her feel better about it.
It has to be handheld, non-breakable, not too heavy and portable.
Thanks.

My father in law had a plastic one that was about 5" diameter. We use it sometimes now.

I used to assist people with finding a magnifier to meet their needs. Has she spoken to her optometrist? The local senior center should know how to get magnifiers at no/low cost. Magnifiers come in different strengths, some have white light and some have yellow light. She needs to try them out to see what works best for her.

My grandma is losing her vision. her ophthalmologist has recommended various products to meet her needs. He gave her a product to demo and she was able to purchase it at a store for the blind. You might want to google and see if you have one nearby. They have a good variety of items that may be helpful. I saw this one- www.sightconnection.comLooks like you can receive a catalog from them as well. There are others. |

I've had good luck finding magnifiers at my local bookstore. I hadn't thought about a bookstore, but we have one of 'those' kinds of bookstores that sell random cheap to expensive good stuff. (If I need a gift for any reason I shop there). AWSOME idea!!! |
