portable video magnifierPortable video magnifiers have taken modern technology to new levels to help those with low vision maintain their independent lifestyle. With an array of features, lightweight construction, and a compact design, a portable video magnifier can change the life of someone with low vision.

Having to deal with low vision can be frustrating, especially when it comes to doing regular, everyday tasks like shopping, cooking with a recipe, or reading a book. While magnifying glasses have been around for years and are the most commonly used low vision aid, they have a tendency to be bulkier and heavier than most portable video magnifiers, especially when one requires a higher level of magnification. Typically when one needs a magnifying glass with high magnification, the overall viewing area of the glass becomes smaller, which makes reading more difficult.

Portable video magnifiers offer higher levels of magnification than have ever been available in a magnifying glass. By using an integrated digital camera with zoom, video magnifiers such as the Enhanced Vision Pebble Portable Video Magnifier and the QuickLook Zoom Portable Video Magnifier can display a crystal-clear LCD image at up to 18X magnification, as opposed to the 3X commonly found in magnifying glasses.

In addition to the zoom capability, portable video magnifiers offer a variety of other features to make the lives of vision impaired people even easier. For instance, the Enhanced Vision Pebble has an adjustable, telescoping handle that is easy to grip for those with arthritis. It also offers 6 viewing modes, including high contrast and reverse black and white to make reading even easier for those with macular degeneration.

Portable video magnifiers open up all new possibilities to those who suffer from low vision. While they are more expensive than magnifying glasses, the features and abilities of video magnifiers more than outweigh the cost. Best of all, they make great holiday gifts for loved ones who want to maintain their independence.
