Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Unlike many similar magnifiers, this one comes with a bright LED light and a switch that works well. For reading purposes, however, I found this magnifier not ideal because its circular-shaped lens focuses on only one word at a time while distorting the adjacent words. This type of lens focuses to a point such that it can concentrate sunlight to start a fire. For reading, the "Carson Optical Lighted Magnifold Magnifier" sold at Amazon works better.
