Crosswords have never been so easy!

Many people, not just the elderly, know this situation well. For many years they have been happily solving the crossword in their daily newspaper or favourite magazine with consummate skill. However, the enjoyment is impaired as it becomes increasingly difficult to see the fields and clues and to decipher the words. The puzzle-solving which used to be fun quickly becomes a tiring strain.

The ageing process leads to deterioration in vision due to accommodation loss. This is a normal process which affects everybody at some stage in life. In addition, diseases affecting vision can make things even more difficult for older people. Added to this, lighting conditions in the home are often very poor. With this specific problem in mind, Eschenbach created the Scribolux - an LED illuminated stand magnifier with a 2.8x magnification.
In addition to the Eschenbach Scribolux, there are several other options available to you for everyday magnification. 

Here are just a few examples of magnifiers available from Associated Optical that can enhance your crossword experience.
