Magnifiers
At Sharpe and Fowler, we prescribe and supply magnification devices as aids to poor vision, as well as for hobby and work use.
Everybody is familiar with a basic magnifying glass, but few are aware of the range of specialised types of magnifiers that are available. So if you have a particular task that needs extra magnification, or if you or a family member struggles to do usual visual tasks because of poor vision, talk to us about our magnifier and other low vision aid options.
