Can you recommend magnifiers and other visual aids for Macular Degeneration?


My 88-year-old Aunt has fairly severe Macular Degeneration in both eyes and I want to get her the best visual aid/magnifier that I can. I'm mainly interested in straight optical devices, but if you know of a video device that's particularly good, I would be interested in that too. I bought her a 2-inch diameter 5x aspherical magnifier and she likes it, but wants something bigger (larger diameter). I've seen these binocular glasses that look interesting, but I don't know what to think about them. Any advice will be appreciated.

There are many kinds of devices available and many kinds of people that will try sell you something. I am biased, but I urge you to take a look at our web site at www.bierley.com and give our products some thought. We help tens of thousands of people each year and would be pleased to help your aunt too.
