Video magnifiers
We offer a range of video magnifiers with varying different magnifications for people who are visually impaired.
Which video magnifier is right for me?
Video magnifiers, also known as electronic magnifiers, come in a range of sizes with varying magnification settings so we’ve put together this handy guide to help you compare the key features at a glance.
If you follow the links through to our online shop for more information you will notice that all of the magnifiers, apart from the Optima Just Read, are shown as out of stock. This is because we recommend you ‘try before you buy’ and book a free one-to-one demonstration with our assistive technology advisers before you make a purchase. We want to make sure that you are buying the right magnifier for your needs.
