thanks for that Barry, the responses were very interesting. I'll have to
think about getting something like that. £99 is somewhat more affordable as
oppoosed the prices of some low vision aids out there.
Thanks for your important too Colin. They seem to have come down in price
quite a bit!

Hi Justin
Yep, it is deffinately £99. It is only a fixed focus, though, so the size of the image depends soley on the size of screen on the tv you attach it to.

Brilliant! thanks Ray and Trevor for that. I'll look at these websites. cheers.
Barry; the mouse you mentioned? is it really just £99? I ask as, I've seen this before, both a site village and are local blind society exhibition and the one's seen were retailed at over £400!
So, a cheaper version sounds good!
thanks again guys,
all the best,
Justin

Hi Justin.
Always thought Optima must be on the web, and they have a very wide range of low vision aids, both trad optical ones, and some electronic and techno stuff. Take a look at:

Hi Justin
This company sell a gadget called a mono-mouse for £99. It's basically a camera in a mouse that plugs directly into the back of a TV. You run it over text and an enlarged image is shown on screen. More expensive than a magnifying glass, but cheaper than a CCTV. Here's the site:

Hi everyone,
this is a bit off topic for this list I understand.
HOwever, I'm looking for a new magnifiying glass and I'm wondering if any of you know of any online stores selling general low vision aids? i can take a look and make a purchase that way.
If anyone happens to know of any website selling low visual aids, I'd be interested to know.
thanks,
