Reading a label, using your smartphone, watching television or working on small details can become more tiring, even without a serious sight problem. It happens to many people, and there is often a solution.
We start from what you want to be able to do again. Together we assess the light, contrast, distance and magnification you need, to find an aid that really helps in everyday life.

The aids
To try in the shop
You don’t always need a stronger lens. Sometimes better light is enough, other times magnification or a filter. Here are the Eschenbach aids you can try in the shop.
- MagnifiersIlluminated, pocket or stand magnifiers, for reading, sewing, checking a price.
- Video magnifiersThey enlarge text and images on a screen, also with speech output for long documents.
- Optaro and Optaro XLAccording to Eschenbach they turn an iPhone or iPad into a video magnifier, with text read aloud.
- ambelis, asensys and acunis filtersLenses that, according to Eschenbach, improve contrast perception, with a line designed for people who are sensitive to light.
The trial
Based on your real life
During the trial we don’t just use a chart. Bring your smartphone, a newspaper, a label, a document or something from your work or hobby.
That way we compare a few solutions chosen for you and check which is simplest and most comfortable in real life. If you’re bringing a parent or a friend, come together. An extra pair of eyes helps when choosing.
Visual impairment
Who sells aids for the visually impaired in Imperia?
Poliottica, in Imperia, offers Eschenbach aids also to people who are visually impaired or have reduced vision already assessed by an ophthalmologist, for example due to macular disease. Aids do not replace medical check-ups, but they can help you carry out some activities more independently.
You don’t need to know the product name. Tell us which activity has become difficult and we’ll prepare a trial around your needs, by appointment.
Work and hobbies
Not only for people with poor sight
Magnifying tools are also useful for anyone who looks at very small details, for work or for pleasure. Craftspeople, model makers, restorers, electronics technicians and collectors can try the different solutions directly on the materials they use every day.
