Frequently Bought Together

Read small print anywhere, anytime with the Carson 5X MiniBrite LED Lighted Magnifier. This compact, high-performance piece of low-cost assistive technology is designed to support NDIS participants with Low Vision who need reliable magnification outside the home.

Standard magnifiers can be bulky and fragile. The MiniBrite features a smart slide-out design where a rugged plastic sleeve protects the lens from scratching when tucked into a pocket or handbag. Equipped with a 5X Aspheric Lens, it provides powerful magnification without the blurring or distortion often found at the edges of cheaper lenses, ensuring text remains sharp and readable.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Community Access: Weighing just 48g, it fits easily in a pocket. This allows participants to read price tags, menus, bus timetables, or receipts independently while shopping or socialising, reducing reliance on support workers.

Health & Safety: The powerful 5X magnification is ideal for spot-reading critical information, such as expiration dates on food or dosage instructions on medication bottles, supporting safe independent living.

Visual Clarity (LED): The built-in LED light floods the viewing area with bright, white light. This increases contrast, which is essential for users with Macular Degeneration or cataracts to read in dimly lit environments like restaurants or shops.

Durability: The protective sleeve eliminates the need for a separate case and ensures the optical quality of the lens is maintained despite daily wear and tear.

Key Features & Benefits

5X Power: Offers strong magnification for detailed tasks and reading micro-print.
Aspheric Lens: Specially shaped to provide a crystal-clear image across the entire lens, minimizing distortion and eye strain.
Protective Slide-Out Case: Protects the lens from dust and scratches when closed, making it the ultimate travel-friendly vision aid.
Built-In LED: Illuminates the subject for enhanced contrast and visibility in low-light conditions.
Ultra-Lightweight (48g): Easy to hold and carry without adding bulk to a bag or pocket.
