Hi list...

I am looking to pass on some info on handheld electronic magnification for a 
client.  She is well versed in use of magnifiers and has a cctv at home, but 
the hand held electronic options will give her some greater freedom.
She has asked me about the "Senseview" which promised a slightly larger screen 
than most, but, also said it went up to 22x magnification while the others, 
better known, often limited out in the 8x to 12x range.

When I read her the info about it, the grammer was awful and likely translated 
from some big Asian country that seems to be holding the market on so many 
adaptive devices.  I told her I would look for some input before she made a 
purchase of that size.

The Ruby, and the Outlook were her other possibilities.  She has Stargardts, 
and has noticed as she has gotten older, just in her 60s, that her vision is 
changing and the light, magnification and contrast are all important when 
considering a purchase like this.

Thank you, as always, for your help.  You make my life easier!

Janet
