The best of a lot! Highly recommend
I think I looked at most of the magnifying glasses for reading on Amazon before buying this product. I must admit that I was a little hesitant because it was so inexpensive As a former professional photographer, I was very concerned with the lens quality, knowing that the lens was made of plastic. I can assure you, the lens quality from edge to edge and top to bottom of the entire viewing area is extremely sharp with no loss of acuity. I was actually shocked at how great quality the lens actually was for this type of device. The lighting system, the weight, and everything is perfect. I suggest reading the manufacturers ads on this page. Everything they mentioned is spot on. My only concern that I had before buying (based on other reviews) was the battery life. I decided to buy an inexpensive AAA battery charger as recommended by one of the reviewers to switch out batteries as needed. There are some advantages in using your own batteries because often in devices like this the built-in battery goes bad and the unit becomes an unusable. I was also concerned initially that because the unit requires being held by hand that some hand fatigue would develop but the unit is so light that holding it is quite easy. Also, it can be easily rested on the side of a chair or on a table while you’re holding a book with one hand. I highly recommend this little magnifying glass glass. I love it.

Great Magnifying Glass
This is not a technical review of this magnifying glass, but a user review. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve finally reached the point where a magnifying glass is often helpful for close or detailed examination of an item, as well as necessary for fine print. Over the past two or three years, I’ve acquired three or four different magnifying glasses from Amazon.The unit I was using previously did a good job of magnifying and had even LED lighting all around the lens, but was a little unwieldy to use and not particularly well-built–I had frequent problems with the light switch and electrical connections. I also wanted a larger viewing area. Looking for a larger unit, I found this glass–and though it was more costly that my previous one, decided to give it a try.This glass is about 30% larger than my last unit–4 7/8 inch measured diameter of the lens rather than 3 3/4 inch. Although the actual lens magnification is a little less, the field of view is much larger which is what I wanted. it provides a clearer view as well. The lighting on this unit is four bright LEDs at the top of the handle rather than encircling the lens, so it is more localized and not as even as with my other glass, but it is bright and certainly adequate. Although considerably larger, this glass is actually lighter than my previous unit and is easier to hold and handle. It appears to be a better-built unit, and to date I’ve had no issues with it. The small high-powered “lens within the lens” can be a little difficult to use, but has been helpful on a couple occasions to boost magnification of particularly tiny items. Overall I believe this is a good magnifying glass.

LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT
I already have two magnifying glasses. This one is superior to those I have because it lights up. It is rectangular, which is great for reading books. Maybe now I can resume my book reading without getting such tired eyes. Printing is very clear, colors too. Am very happy with my purchase.

Important tool
This really helps my husband read the newspaper. He has glaucoma and wears glasses but still cant see much. The light lights it up a magnifies, not just one line but several so he can enjoy reading again. Also helpful for me on extremely small print on documents and prescriptions.

Large magnifying lens is excellent
Large magnifying lens is great for its intended uses. This product was ordered and arrived on time. The magnifying lens construction and materials resists scratching but is not intended for rough use. For normal everyday use, this product is excellent.

hopes dashed – too much of the glass area is distorted
My primary use is not for reading everything all the time, just reading the small and fine print on things when needed. Getting older, these small and fine prints are everywhere and hard to read without magnification. Smaller glasses work fine for me, but I wanted a bigger glass to make it even easier and see more magnified at one time.I was excited to get this 5 inch glass magnifier with tiny extra-magnifier and lights! However, I was greatly disappointed that there was only a 3 inch diameter in the center of the glass that was undistorted, and the other 2 inches beyond that on all sides seems to have 2 large rings of distortion. Since other people’s reviews mentioned this distortion, I’m guessing it is poor manufacturing design? I attached some photos that I hope illustrate this better than I can describe it. However, if Amazon servers shrink the photos too small (doesn’t allow full sized photo viewing), then it will be hard to see the distortions. Just in case, 1) look for the straight edges in the photo and see how wavy they are and 2) I will also attach a photo of the just the distortion area(s). NOTE: I did not use the magnifier light in any of these photos.Unlike some others, I thought the mini magnifier worked great and I also thought the light worked a lot better than some of the original photos I saw of the light. (Note that to get full magnification you have to have proper distance between the item being magnified and the glass and then between the glass any your eyes). I also liked the large handle and its grip.These competing pros and cons made it hard to decide if I was going to return it or not, but I am pretty sure I am going to return it. Even at the current sale prices, I dont think it is worth the large lens and features when only 3 inches of it is normal. I’ll make due with a smaller glass for size efficiency reasons.

Is well made, good finish. The lights are really good. Claimed to be 5x, not really sure about that. And from the presentation, got the impression that it is made in the USA; it’s not, it is Chinese. Given that, the “discounted price” is not really so. Got it for about 3500 Rs, a bit overpriced, still.
