Low Vision Aids Magnifiers constitute two magnifying products distributed by Gulden Ophthalmics including a Low Vision Devices Pen, with or without a light, and Low Vision Aids Magnifiers of differing measurements.

Gulden Ophthalmics new Low Vision Devices Pen will assist the low vision patient to write more quickly and more legibly. An eight (8)-diopter lens on the Low Vision Devices Pen is used for magnification, making the patient's writing easily visible.

A holder that slides up and down, thus, increasing or decreasing the magnification and focus, holds the lens of the Low Vision Devices Pen. Additionally, the lens holder rotates on the barrel of the Low Vision Devices Pen. Thus, providing an infinite number of configurations of Low Vision Devices Pen and lens to customize the Low Vision Devices Pen for each patient.

Using Gulden's Low Vision Devices Pen, a person can write, sign documents, etc. without the inconvenience or embarrassment of using a magnifying glass. The Low Vision Devices Pen is compact, slips easily into a purse or shirt pocket, and is much smaller and lighter than a bulky magnifying glass.

The Low Vision Devices Pen is ambidextrous and is adaptable to either left or right-handed writers.

The lens holder can be completely removed to allow for replacement of the re-fill.

This newly designed ergonomic stand Low Vision Aids Magnifier uses in tandem the light-bending qualities of both a lens and a reflecting prism to magnify print material and present it at a convenient angle for the low-vision patient. The Low Vision Aids Magnifier was developed by Dr. Larry Spitzberg with a National Eye Institute Grant to produce new Low Vision Aids Magnifiers with these ergonomic advantages.

The Low Vision Aids Magnifier is made of high grade plastic, light in weight, and optically clear, these Low Vision Aids Magnifiers measure 4.0 cm or a larger size of 6.5 cm. This configuration negates the common patient complaint that they need to view the material from directly above.

The Low Vision Aids Magnifier sits on the top of the printed page and allows the image to be viewed at a normal reading angle (45 degrees) rendering a magnification of 6x. This original design uses a 20 DS aspheric lens.

An educational feature of this Low Vision Aids Magnifier design is the visibility of an unmagnified line of print viewable in the apex of the prism. This allows a teacher to view what the pupil is viewing or to see where he/she is on the page.
