Frequently asked

Why choose glass over acrylic for a magnifier?

Glass holds clarity better over time because it does not scratch as easily and resists yellowing from sunlight. Acrylic is lighter but loses sharpness after a year or two of regular use.

What magnification works best for reading menus and recipes?

A 3x to 4x glass lens covers most kitchen and reading needs. Higher power lenses narrow the viewing area too much for comfortable scanning across a page.
