HOW DOES IT WORK?
These devices work by either magnifying the image or enhancing the contrast and brightness of the image.
Magnifying low vision aids include devices like magnifying glasses, telescopes, filters and closed-circuit televisions (CCTVs). These devices use lenses to enlarge the image, making it easier for people with low vision to see fine details. Some magnifying aids may also have a built-in light source to improve visibility.
