Read the smallprint? Sometimes it's easier said than done. For people with low vision problems or reading difficulties, it's harder still. To help we feature a range of text magnifiers and reading aids, including the unique Readezy Bookstand and COIL's award-winning Visual Tracking Magnifiers.
NEW Linereader Bar Magnifier
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best: this bar magnifier has a transparent yellow line, which is particularly helpful for anyone who easily loses their place while reading. Suddenly the words seem so much easier to see! It's also ideal for scrolling down numerical lists, charts and statistical tables. Made from optical acrylic, measures 6" and offers 2x magnification.

NEW Eschenbach Mobilent Pocket Magnifier
Perhaps it is true that the best things sometimes come in small packages? These extraordinarily high-powered, high quality plastic pocket magnifiers have 35mm lightweight aspheric lenses offering 4x, 7x or 10x magnification. This makes them ideal for very close inspection tasks or for magnifying fine print and hard-to-read small text. They are especially helpful to people with low-vision, who need a quick, easy-to-carry compact magnifier to hand when they are out and about. The shell-like plastic case is dust-proof to protect the lens and contains an eyelet for a neck cord (supplied) if required.
Flexible LED Booklight
Not a magnifier but nonetheless a very useful little gadget or gift for night-time reading on planes, trains or anywhere else with restricted light. Convenient clip attaches easily to books, even some laptops, while flexi-arm points illuminated head in any direction. Long-lasting white LED bulb provides up to 40 hours continuous light.
