Because even at my presbyopia has slammed unmercifully, I was looking for a high quality, yet affordable magnifier with lighting. I found her. The magnifier is small and lightweight and fits comfortably in your hand. The optical quality is excellent. Only in the four corners there are slight distortion. The LED lights are turned on when you pull the handle down. They are very bright and light up blue. Through this blueish cast the illuminated object is very rich in contrast and can be viewed well. Even reading this coloration helps. Even without a protective covering has taken no damage the lens. I do not want to miss this motion. Top-quality at an affordable price.
