Optometrist's tip

Low-power glass magnifiers like these suit people with mild sight loss or tired eyes who just need print a little larger. If you find yourself needing more than about 2.5x, a dedicated aspheric or illuminated low vision magnifier will give a much clearer, brighter image. Clean the glass with a microfibre cloth — fingerprints noticeably reduce contrast.
