Hello all,
I am legally blind with an acuity of 20/200 in the right and 20/300 in the left. I am looking for recommendations (preferably inexpensive) for a replacement handheld magnifying glass similar to the seemingly now defunct 'iMagnify' storefront.
These magnifiers were cheap ($12) and honestly provided some of the best combination of light and power for everyday use. The problem has always been that because they were cheaply made, the interchangable handle would last ~1 year before I would then buy a new one. Either the rubber on the handle would come off, the components would easily break after a drop, or a capacitor on the internal board would blow out and the light would stop working. It has been frustrating but not surprising because you get what you pay for I guess.
Now, I need to find a replacement and apparently this company no longer exists. I have found a few other brands that just look like reskinned versions of the same thing with likely the same problems. So, I am wondering if there are better options out there that would suit my needs. I would love to not have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars but I am open to suggestions.
