This product WILL NOT WORK lying flat on the page; you must hold it above your reading matter in order for it to magnify. The size and shape of the product might lead you to believe (as it did to me) that you can simply lay the "magnifier" on the page you wish to enlarge. Sorry, it doesn't work that way--it must be supported an inch or two off the page. If you're looking to use this to work from small text while entering information into a computer, it will do you no good whatsoever.

This amazing piece of plastic works better than the $200 reading eyeglasses my opthamologist prescribed. I had surgery for epiretinal membrane and have some residual damage. Eyeglasses do not resolve the distortion I see in print. This magnifier is inexpensive, light, lies flat on reading materials, can be moved to enlarge, cuts glare, actually focuses! Be careful not to sit on it-mine broke. I even propped it up against my computer screen and it helped, especially with the colored print on the internet. Carson also makes a similar product which I ordered until the Magna-Page is back in stock. Hey, it's so cheap, try it out.

I purchased this product for my mother who has mild vision problems. This absolutely did not help magnify print and is worthless. It would have cost more to return it for a refund than the purchase price. This was a total waste of time and money
