My great aunt will be 100 in July. She often talks of staying connected with interests and news but how difficult it is without the local paper issuing large print and with the difficulty of using cumbersome magnifying glasses. I brought her a cheap Fresnel lens from a three ring binder and she was just amazed. But this ultra thin floppy page is cumbersome to say the least. It is also foggy and prone to distortion.
I'd very much appreciate hearing anyone's experiences with vision loss magnification aids. Neither my aunt or myself can afford most of the electronic devises I've seen on the net. I'm hoping to find something like a "full page" rigid lens that is goose-neck mounted and clampable to a table edge next to her reading chair. Somewhat less than 50 dollars. But definitely something others can vouch for as to usefulness and clarity.
Or perhaps some other type of magnifier you might have used and recommend.
Thank you very much
