Low Tech Device: Magnifying Glass


Summary: This is a very simple low-tech device for those with low-vision. This magnifying glass lens clarifies the details of the object. I could really see the pictures and words that have been enlarged. This is a very inexpensive assistive adaptive technology device. However, there are modern products that make life even easier: Desktop Video Magnifier, ONYX Camera, Portable Video Magnifier, Handheld Video Magnifier, and more. Technology just keeps getting better and better to assist those with disabilities to have some independence. Check out http://www.freedomscientific.com/products/lv/lowvision-products.asp
