Picking the right magnification and aiming position is easier with a low vision professional. You could set it up alone, but expert help makes a better result more likely.

What it is

Summary

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

This small 2.75x monocular is built to mount on an existing pair of eyeglasses, so you can look at things in the distance or up close without holding anything in your hand. It has a 12.5 degree field of view and focuses from about 5 1/2 inches out to infinity. It weighs just 0.75 ounces and is about 1 1/2 inches long. It suits someone with low vision who wants hands-free use and needs only modest magnification. It has no eye cup and attaches through two lock nuts, so you need the separately sold flip-up clamp adapter to put it on glasses. That clamp is a catalog-only item.
