Eschenbach Vario Plus Illuminated Magnifier System

Description

Hand-held or hands-free? Introducing the Eschenbach Vario Plus Magnifier System

The Eschenbach Vario Plus Magnifier system offers a versatile solution for enhancing reading comfort, particularly for individuals with low vision or limited hand mobility. The system comprises a series of interchangeable lenses, which can be added or removed to an illuminated handle. The joy of the system is that it allows users to change or upgrade lenses separately, as their eyesight needs change. Moreover, Vario Plus magnifiers can be used as conventional handheld magnifying glasses or they can sit directly on any flat surface, like a stand magnifier. As they can rest on the page, they are ideal for reading over sustained periods, especially for anyone who finds it difficult to hold a conventional magnifier, such as those with age-related shaking or conditions like Parkinsons disease.

Note that lenses and handles have to be ordered separately.

Distortion-free lenses, multiple magnification options

Equipped with a lightweight, aspheric PXM® lens coated with cera-tec®, these premium quality German magnifiers deliver distortion-free images and edge-to-edge sharpness. The system provides multiple magnification options—3x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 10x, and 12.5x—across a range of lens sizes from 35 mm to 100 x 75 mm, addressing various visual needs. Magnifier heads with diameters over 58 mm feature a retractable red reading line, which helps with line orientation and increases reading speed. Additionally, rectangular magnifier heads come with a supplementary swivel lens, offering extra magnification when needed. The system also ensures bright, even illumination through enclosed magnifier heads made from lightweight materials.

Modular magnifying system – choose a handle, then choose a lens

When ordering please remember that handles and lenses have to be ordered separately i.e. –

1. Choose a handle – either LED or tungsten
2. Choose a lens – attach lens to handle

Vario Plus is a ‘mix and match’, modular system of interchangeable handles, lens heads and power sources. This gives users maximum comfort and control. Once you have a handle, then you have your light source – but you still need to attach a lens. The handle works with all lens sizes so if your eyesight changes over a period of time, you simply choose and add a more powerful lens.

Interchangeable Handles for Vario Plus Magnifiers

HANDLES – Tungsten handles are cheapest but LED handles offer brighter, even illumination and longer-lasting battery life. Also the LED handles include separate orange and yellow filters, which you can clip over the LED, thereby giving you two additional softer lighting options. Large easy on/off switch for comfortable handling. Tungsten or LED handles require two LR14 batteries (not included).

Interchangeable Lenses for Vario Plus Magnifiers

LENSES – All models feature Eschenbach’s lightweight PXM aspheric lenses coated on both sides for extra durability. Some models have a retractable red line for easier reading while rectangular versions have a built-in extra swivel lens to help master smaller text or different orientation of printed matter. All lenses offer first-class optical performance, with distortion-free imaging and edge-to-edge sharpness.
