Carol, we have a hand-held (the Eye Q) which can be tethered to a regular TV
monitor to increase the magnification beyond what is available on the
hand-held itself. It was a good option used to have both a very portable
device as well as larger magnification when at a table.

Subject: [AERNet] Another question Re: CCTV
I have another question about CCTVs.
Would a hand-held work well if a student has to read something on an easel?
(I'm thinking of individually administered tests of academic achievement
like the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement (WJ-III ACH) or the
Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (KTEA-2).
With the WJ-III the pages can be removed from the easel and placed under a
desktop CCTV. With the KTEA-2, the easels are wire bound ... not possible
to do that.
Are there any desktop models that would allow placing the easel (in a flat
position) from the side, and having the picture rotated so that the student
can read it in the proper orientation on the screen? [I would have to read
the instructions to the student from the other side of the easel.]

Hello Mary:
Ike and others provided you with excellent information pertaining to CCTV's.
The key is for you to evaluate several of them and see which one meets your
needs.
Our product line as well as other companies do provide you with the feature
of lines and windowing along with other hand held low vision products.
Regards and Good Luck

The power is in your hands
On Saturday, July 24 (1:45-2:45) at the AER Conference in Little Rock, Bill
Mattingly (ABO Master in Ophthalmic Optics) will be presenting a course
"Clinically Relevant Magnifier Optics". It is useful for anyone who uses
magnifiers with their clients. The highlights of the course are:
The understanding of the clinically relevant characteristics of magnifiers
is more than knowing the diopter power or magnification rating. In this
course Bill will explain the additional concepts of equivalent power, image
location, two-lens formula and enlargement ratio.
Clinical optical dilemmas will be identified and solved. These will include:
Should the add or distance portion of multifocal spectacles be used with a
magnifier?
If the add is used, will it add power to the magnifier?
How far from the eyes should the magnifier be held?
Why do these two "8X" magnifiers give such different performance?
Why does Kestenbaum's Rule often underestimate the amount of add needed to
read small print?
