Does this glass have magnifying effect?

Yes, it appears to. It's very subtle, and does not equate to the same type of effect a person who wears prescription lenses is used to. I don't need reading glasses or contact lenses normally, and if I wear my brother's glasses, everything is distorted and I can't see clearly. I uses these glasses while on my computer, because I'm a developer and spend hours looking at a screen every day. The magnification is very, very minute, you only notice it if you remove your glasses and put them back on again quickly. It just helps make everything more readable and clear.

I don't know the magnification, I looked on the web-site, and it wasn't there. I bought it for my husband to read maps, his globe, and other things. He says it is good for that, plenty strong. I looked through it at some very small print, with my glasses off and I could make it out. It's a very nice gift, or for yourself...

Hi Marcia, sorry, I'm not too sure, probably only 2x or 4x, it suits me as I was not looking for something overly powerful, it is a great looking magnifying glass and good quality also....cheers Rob

I tried it with my computer screen. Yes it will magnify the screen, but you have to move the lens in and out until it is focused. I would not recommend doing this because the lens is too curved in order to focus on really small items when your face is up close about 1 foot away. Hope this helps.

Not really. It is like a magnifying glass that is much stronger than a regular magnifying glass and you can see images that are super small so it won't give you measurements or stone things but it will let you see things about the stone that you cant see with just a regular magnifying glass. http://www.worlddirectorywhitepages.com

I'm not a botanist but I think so. It's very clear with good magnification. Unlike a large magnifying glass you won't see a large area. So as long as your looking at details and not the whole flower or plant you should be happy.

Not really, except that the magnification can vary depending how far you hold it from the book/sheet (or other objects).

It could be cut, but I don't know if the magnifying properties would be affected.

I wasn't sure so I used it to read fine print and it definitely does have magnification.

Yes. It comes with a 2x magnifier. It narrows your field of vision quite a bit and sort of defeats the point of a red for for me.

to me its just a fancy magnify glass. I use it to keep the bright sun light out and to see the image on the screen, it does not have any adjustments on it. As long as you cover the LCD screen it is in focus, and magnifed, providing the photo is in focus

I bought one for my sister and it worked fine. It is a little more bulky than a magnifying glass, but still relatively easy to handle.

No it is a 2X magnification with a 5X bifocal area ( about the size of a half dollar) for fine detail

I don't notice a lot of magnification, just helps me see image a lot better outside. Hope this helps

I'm not certain about the magnification, but it is ok for middle aged eyes like mine. I am using a 100 watt bulb anyway; so far we have not blown a fuse or set a fire. Cheers.

I would think so. The magnifying glass is not real big but the light would be great to help you see better. Hope that helps.

Yes- but you have to hold it about an inch from the screen. I use it at work- some of the data in our data bases use a font that is ridiculously small. I hold the magnifier and get my info then put it down. If you wanted to use it non stop to read multiple screens, that may be more difficult.
