Zeiss d12 hand magnifier - Zeiss Optics D12 Aspheric Hand Magnifier w/ Anti Reflective Hard Coating

I bought my mom the Zeiss D12 Hand Magnifier with AR (Anti-Reflective) coating, with the lens cover standard. She has 6-7 other magnifiers because of her poor vision (multitude of cornea replacements) The cheaper magnifiers work adequately for her, some even have lights to brighten what she is looking at. However, none of them are as clear as the Zeiss. The price of the Zeiss is high, but if you want to clearly see, without having to keep messing around and moving the height of the maagnifier or how far away your eyes are from the object you're trying to focus on, the Zeiss is worthwhile...hold it at the instinctively correct height and it is easy to clearly see what you are focusing on. The other great thing is that the WHOLE lens is able to be used to focus, not just the little 1/4", very middle, of most magnifiers. It really saves alot of hassle. For me (and especially my mom) the cost of the Zeiss is worth it.
Pros: Clarity
Cons: Cost
