The best video magnifier for workplace
Steve is a normal employee working in the office every day. He has suffered the damage to his ocular nerve and resulted in partial visual impairment. Some other complications like dry eye syndrome occurred with his eye condition, which caused discomfort during his daily eye use process. His eyes wouldn’t affect his life too much as they are not as severe as 20/200 vision. Nevertheless, Steve meets lots of trouble during his work.
Steve usually has to sit in the office for the whole day to cope with some paper files by staring at the computer for a long time in the day. The digital screen of the computer can easily induce his dry eyes, making it harder for him to handle the paperwork. In this case, Steve decided to select an electronic video magnifier to help ease the eye strain, and he finally chose Zoomax Snow 12.
Q: What troubles in your life caused by vision loss?
I have to say my visual impairment is not really severe, in some way. Basically it’s just blurred and really sensitive to the lights. I also wear glasses to correct my vision every day, so I don’t think my life is changing a lot. Of course, it is not the same as healthy vision. My eyes now are easier to be tired and feel uncomfortable, especially when I keep using my eyes or watch devices with digital screens for a while, which caused a lot of inconvenience and some troubles in my work. I guess it’s because of the dry eye syndrome that affected my efficiency a lot. I begin to be stressful as long as I know I need to use my eyes for a time.

Q: What troubles in your life caused by vision loss?
I had eyesight loss problems for years, so I’m sort of getting used to this condition, more or less. But of course, vision loss causes many obvious troubles. For instance, I often hit myself at the beginning, and it’s hard for me to focus because I lost my target all the time. These problems can be corrected or adapted after so many years, but my study is often trapped due to my vision loss problems. I tried several low vision devices during my school time, and they have different kinds of shortages. Then I got Zoomax Snow 12 after I went to my university, and it is truly the most suitable one for me.
Q: How do you know about Zoomax Snow 12?
My college offers some resources for students with visual impairments, so I get the information from the official website of our university. The school has cooperation with some low vision institutions or something, I’m not really sure, but I can get all the information I need online.
Q: Why do you choose Zoomax Snow 12?
So, when I got the information about these low vision aids, I contacted a teacher and submitted an application to try the devices. The teacher told me I could select one or two devices to try first, then I could make the final decision. This is important for me to find the one that can really suit me. So I tried Snow 12 and another device, I don’t quite remember its name, and it also can be used for reading and writing. Anyway, I used both these two devices and chose Snow 12 eventually. I think the quality is better than the other one, and the functions are abundant and powerful.
Q: Where do you often use Zoomax Snow 12?
Classrooms and library. Studying is the priority for me to choose Zoomax Snow 12, so the places I use Snow 12 the most are definitely the classrooms and the library. In the classrooms, I use it to read materials and complete my tasks. And in the library, Snow 12 helps me read books and review literature. It’s simple to operate the device and the quality of the image is always great, so my study time is getting easy and relaxing. Sometimes I may forget to turn off the sound when using it in the library, but I can always fix it quickly since the setting is so easy.
Q: If you are going to talk about 3 benefits of Snow 12, what is in your mind?
The first one must be its portability. As I mentioned I often use Snow 12 in the classrooms and the library, so it’s crucial for me to have a video magnifier that is portable to carry. Snow 12 and its foldable stand can be easily put in my bag. Well, maybe it’s a little bit heavy to take both the device and the metal stand, but luckily our campus is not too huge, so I can still be able to take them everywhere. Also, the touch screen function is really cool. I have to admit I’m addicted to smart phones as well although I don’t have good vision. The touch screen function is really helpful for me to figure out how to use the device. As for the last thing, I think I can say it’s comfortable to write with Snow 12. I know it’s necessary to use the foldable stand when writing, but the image is always clear and the stand is stable all the time. I think these benefits are crucial for at least a college student just like me.
