    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Assistive Technology

    Context:

    • Visually handicapped individuals often face challenges with reading due to limited working distances of conventional aids.
    • Existing assistive devices may not offer sufficient flexibility or consistent performance across different magnifications.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce a new reading aid designed for the visually handicapped.
    • To describe the components and functionality of this novel assistive device.

    Summary:

    • The described reading aid integrates standard field glasses with a unique mirror system.
    • It supports both monocular and binocular use, providing versatility for different users.
    • A key feature is the extended working distance of 210 mm, which remains constant irrespective of magnification.
