9x & 11x Carson LED Lighted Pocket Magnifier – 1.5 Inch Lens

Struggling to read tiny print or see small details when you are away from home?

The Carson MagniFlash lighted pocket magnifier gives you strong 9x or 11x magnification in a compact, portable design. The built-in LED light helps brighten small print and close-up details, while the separate flashlight makes it useful for travel, errands, hobbies and everyday tasks.

What is the difference between the 9x and 11x lighted pocket magnifiers?

Choose the magnification based on how much enlargement you need.

• 9x | 32 Diopter – strong magnification for small print, labels and everyday detail work
• 11x | 40 Diopter – higher magnification for very small print and finer close-up details

The 9x gives you a slightly larger viewing area and is generally easier to use for everyday spot reading. The 11x is better when you need more enlargement.

Is this magnifier good for low vision?

It may be helpful for people with low vision who need stronger magnification for small print and close-up tasks and light.

A high-power lighted magnifier may be useful for some people with vision changes related to macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts or age-related vision loss.

Why choose the Carson MagniFlash Lighted Pocket Magnifier?

The MagniFlash combines several useful features in one compact tool:

• 9x or 11x high magnification
• Built-in LED illumination
• Separate flashlight
• Compact size for a purse, bag or pocket
• Aspheric lens designed for a clear image with reduced distortion
• Protective case included
• Neck strap included
• Uses 3 AAA batteries

Unlike a larger reading magnifier, this model is designed for quick spot viewing and detailed close-up work.

What can I use it for?

The Carson MagniFlash is useful for:

• Medication labels
• Price tags
• Menus
• Product packaging
• Instructions and fine print
• Serial numbers and model numbers
• Coins and stamps
• Jewelry
• Electronics
• Sewing and needlework
• Crafts and hobbies
• Travel
• Inspection and detail work

Which magnification should I choose?

Choose 9x if you need strong magnification but want a little more viewing area and easier positioning.

Choose 11x if very small print or fine detail is still difficult to see with lower magnification.

Higher magnification provides more enlargement, but it also means a smaller viewing area and shorter working distance.
