AIXPI Magnifying Glass with Light, 30X Handheld Large Magnifying Glass 12 LED Illuminated Lighted Magnifier for Macular Degeneration Seniors Reading Inspection Coins Jewelry

Practical for me since getting older. It has a light and its lightweight. I have readers but keeping these nearby doesn't hurt.

Everyone thinks it can't happen to them, but inevitably, one of your children will come home with head lice. We've had a it twice in our home, mostly recently a bad case where our child had adult lice before we caught it. (She complained of itching, but I only found dandruff during my first checks.) When we finally spotted the little buggers, I knew right away I would want to use a metal fine-tooth comb and a magnifying glass to make sure we had removed all the lice and nits before stopping daily treatment.I came across this magnifying glass and instantly ordered it. It seemed excessively large when I opened the package, but it turned out to be our magic weapon. This thing can magnify! Since then, I've used it for many other uses -- reading fine print, decoding numbers on gift cards, locating missing earring backs, etc. But it really is amazing for tackling head lice.Speaking of lice, here is our foolproof method for tackling them:1) Put on a movie and place your child in a comfortable chair in front of your comfortable spot on the couch. This is going to take a while!2) Coat hair in massive amount of white conditioner, preferably gently scented or non-scented as minty conditioners can cause irritation.3) Section hair into 4-6 sections and secure with clips. You will work with one section at a time, starting with the bottom and side sections. Lice like to congregate around the edges of the scalp, so you will most likely find them there -- always in the first inch or two of hair. Do not worry much about the ends.4) Add additional coating of conditioner, then pull through the length of small sections of hair. Have a stack of paper towels and a trash bag nearby so you can wipe the accumulated conditioner off the comb and onto the paper towel. Examine for any residue. Use the magnifying glass to confirm if it's a louse, a nit, or just dandruff or debris. Then discard the paper towel into the trash bag and start again.5) Repeat this process all over head, being sure to go through each section several times.6) Once you have thoroughly combed each section, have child flip over their head to comb from the scalp downward. (Like blow drying your hair upside down.) This is uncomfortable, but you will catch additional lice and nits this way.7) When you have completed the lice removal, do not rinse out hair. Add a little more conditioner and put child's hair into a bun or braids. Cover with a hair cap or protect pillow with a towel and have them sleep in the conditioner. In the morning, rinse out all the conditioner, blow dry and straight iron small sections. This will get the bulk of lice.8) Repeat this process once a day for three days, minus sleeping in the conditioner. Just rinse out when the lice check is done, blow dry and flat iron.9) When you have not seen any lice in two hair checks, you may consider yourself lice-free. But continue to check hair once a week for several weeks to make sure you haven't missed a single one.GOOD LUCK!

Glass scratches easily and it is very heavy

Perfect! We're seniors and used our magnifying glass often; somehow we lost it and I ordered this one! It's bigger, and the lights are perfect for threading my sewing machine or looking for something we dropped on the carpet.

A Lifesaver for My Eyes and My Hobbies!As someone who’s not getting any younger (and my eyes aren’t either!), the AIXPI Magnifying Glass with Light has become my new best friend. I never thought I’d be so excited about a magnifying glass, but here we are!First of all, the 30X magnification is a game changer. Whether I’m inspecting my collection of old coins, reading small print on newspapers, or even inspecting the fine details of my favorite stamps, this magnifier makes everything crystal clear. And let’s talk about the 12 LED lights—those are a godsend! It’s like having a mini spotlight wherever I go, so I can see in any lighting without straining my eyes.I’ll admit, I was skeptical at first about how comfortable it would be to hold, but the handle is super ergonomic, and it’s lightweight enough that I don’t get hand cramps after using it for a while. Plus, it’s got that nice, wide lens so I can scan larger areas without having to move the magnifier around too much.This thing isn’t just for old folks like me, though. It’s perfect for anyone who loves to inspect fine details—whether you're into reading, crafting, or just need a little help with those hard-to-see things. The best part? I can use it to read tiny text on my crossword puzzle without needing glasses, and that’s something I’m very grateful for.Bottom line: This magnifying glass is top-notch, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you’ve been finding it hard to read those small print books or just want to enjoy your hobbies to the fullest!

Batteries don’t last long which is unfortunate because the light is nice.

Just the right size and easy to use. The light is great. Not too bright or too dim. Great for detail work

I'm only 44 but my vision is going. I can't read small print anymore. This magnifying glass definitely comes in handy. The light is an added bonus.
