Magnifying Glass 5X Handheld Reading Magnifier for Seniors & Kids(Silver)

Nice size.. Good magnification. Works good for my needs.

I read every review before purchasing this and was prepared for issues with the handle, the magnification, etc. However, it arrived quickly, in good shape (no damage, fully functional), in a small box that includes a soft, reusable, cleaning wipe, like the kind you receive with a pair of glasses. And it provides good magnification of small print. I have no complaints. Will order another one today as a gift for someone who enjoys looking closely - at the very fine print - on world globes.

Just loved how sturdy and pretty it was!

Works very but a little heavy

It's very difficult to find a large non-illuminated magnifying glass. I purchased the Hoplex magnifier to use on the FAA Part 107 test, where the student is required to read fine print on very cluttered maps. This tool is also handy for reading fine print on food boxes and medicine bottles. Optics are good, but for the price, the customer should not expect glass quality found on thousand dollar Leica, Canon, Nikon lenses. Magnification probably refers to the area enlargement of the glass, not lateral or vertical enlargement. I very much appreciate the field of view of the Hoplite magnifying glass since the eye relief is fairly robust.

I buy quite a few products on Amazon these days and I only write a review if the product impressed me. I have to say this is exactly what I wanted. Very pretty because I want this pair to set out on my end table or desk. Really nice material. The lens is glass and the frame is metal. Perfect amount of magnification for me. Some are much to strong and some are way to weak. For the price it's the best! I have gotten a lot smarter buying on the web and remember to read the reviews!

Great magnification

Although this magnifying glass looks good on the picture, I was very disappointed when I saw it. The quality of it looked cheap and even worse, it arrived broken! I'm giving it a 2nd star because the seller DID refund my money once I shipped it back.
