A special camera, viewing screen, zoom lens, and built-in illumination are combined in one simple to use product to magnify and increase contrast of just about anything you want to view - pill bottles, books, newspapers, mail, checkbooks, photographs, cans and frozen food packages, and much more. The camera focuses on the material being viewed (e.g.: a printed page of a recipe book) and displays it on the viewing screen. Whatever you want to read or view is magnified on the viewing screen at the size you select. You control the field of view and the contrast of the magnified image so that you can use your remaining vision to read print, view pictures or objects, and even watch yourself write checks!
