Low vision aids (LVA) or low vision assistive products (LVAPs) are devices that aid people with low vision and allow them to use their residual vision for better living. LVAP work by making the objects appear bigger, brighter, and blacker or more closely, with improved contrast.

The Mobilux series of illuminated hand-held magnifiers feature bright LED illumination. SMD LED (light emitting diode) illumination provides an alternative light source preferred by many patients due to its distinctly whiter spectrum and longer useful life. In addition to the bulbs offering nearly unlimited life (50,000 hours!), the batteries last 5 times as long as when used with incandescent bulbs. To soften the color of the light, small Snap-On filters are included with each magnifier to provide 3 different illumination options.
The Powerlux line of stand magnifiers offers the perfect solution for your low vision patients who are looking for maximum vision comfort and exceptional ease of use.

The automatic shut-off, which turns the Powerlux off after 30 minutes of non-use, ensures longer battery life and reduces usage costs.
Bright illumination is provided by SMD LED technology, with bulbs that never need to be changed. Plus, with a built-in sensor, the light conveniently goes on and off when the magnifier is opened and closed.
The easy pocket lens is protected by a strong glass-fiber reinforced plastic case that minimizes scratching. Patients can choose between either a silver, blue or black case. They are perfect for patients looking for a small, illuminated magnifier that is easy to travel with and use in restaurants and other dimly lit locations.

The protection comes from shields on the top and bottom of the lens as well as from a custom-made side shields. Although providing excellent, full coverage, the shields still allow air to circulate freely avoiding the fogging-up effect that can occur with more snug fitting eyewear.
