What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The OptiVISOR is a head-worn binocular magnifier, so you can see small details up close while keeping both hands free for the task. It uses precision optical glass lenses at 2.5X power with an 8-inch focal length, meaning your work should sit about 8 inches from the lenses to be in focus. You can wear it over your regular glasses, and it tilts up out of the way when you need to look at something normally. It suits close hand work like reading small print, crafts, or detailed repairs, especially for someone who can't comfortably hold a handheld magnifier. At 2.5X it gives moderate magnification, not the strong enlargement some people with low vision need.
