The Maggie MD Portable Electronic Magnifier is a portable unit that easily fits in your pocket or purse and can magnify up to 11X. It may be helpful in macular degeration because it also has a button which inverts the colors, so an ordinary book will appear with white text on a black background.
One very appealing aspect of electronic magnifiers is the magnification/size aspect. With hand held magnifiers, (by the laws of physics) the stronger the magnification, the smaller the lens must be. It is very difficult & expensive to find a 10 X magnifier that' s larger than 1.5" diameter. Electronic magnifiers, however, don't have this limitation. The Maggie MD offers up to 11X without compromising the ample size of the screen.
