Although his several pocket magnifiers come in different sizes and shapes they all had one thing in common - illumination. As ones macular degeneration progresses the need for more light becomes more pronounced. The more light there is, the less need for a higher power magnifier.

The light switch is easy to access on the handle. It uses a single  AAA battery for easy battery replacement.  An LED magnifier provides some of the best light for magnifiers. LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are small, solid light bulbs which are extremely energy-efficient. They provide a very bright light for increased visibility and are known for their longevity and reliability.

Just like I keep inexpensive reading glasses in different rooms of the house, have several hand held magnifiers conveniently available in different rooms - like the kitchen, the garage, the bathroom, and the bedroom. Keep a lighted magnifying glass close at hand to help reduce frustration and to make it easier to see and read.

Hand held magnifiers can be used for spot reading such as reading instructions, labels, price tags, a bill or a menu.  Not intended for long term reading, keep one of these handy in different rooms of the house.

Here is a handheld magnifier from Amazon that has some great reviews, with a high quality, distortion free lens and offers 3x magnification:

There are high quality acrylic lenses and glass lenses. The cheap acrylic lenses often have some distortion and are not real clear, so you will need to pay more for a high quality aspheric lens.

Abstract: Medical imaging is the mainstay of clinical diagnosis and management. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technology that has revolutionized the field of ophthalmology. Since its introduction, OCT has undergone significant improvements in image quality, speed, and resolution, making it an essential diagnostic tool for various ocular pathologies. OCT has not only improved the diagnosis and management of ocular diseases but has also found applications in other fields of medicine. In this manuscript, we provide a brief overview of the history of OCT, its current uses and diagnostic capabilities to assess the posterior segment of the eye, and the evolution of this technology from time-domain (TD) to spectral-domain (SD) and swept-source (SS). This brief review will also discuss the limitations, advantages, disadvantages, and future perspectives of this technology in the field of ophthalmology. Keywords: imaging; optical coherence tomography (OCT); time-domain; spectral-domain; swept-source; ophthalmology; glaucoma; retinopathies

Always get the lowest power magnifier that allows you to read comfortably. One that is lighted often makes it possible to use a lower power. Here is 3X power folding magnifier that uses AAA batteries from Amazon:

It is one of the largest round magnifiers for a wide viewing area. The crystal clear optical grade lens goes all the way to the edge so there is no blurriness.

And his favorite light for a magnifier is an LED light. Amazon carries an assortment of pocket magnifiers. But my father-in-law likes the one that folds up easy and uses AAA batteries. Some lighted magnifiers use the tiny button batteries that he finds too hard to remove and replace.  You can find the same LED magnifier here at Amazon:

Recently, while visiting my father-in-law who has wet macular degeneration I was pleased to see that he had several handheld magnifiers placed in different rooms of the house. Without having to search for a magnifier he can quickly grab one to read a label, check a bill, or identify a prescription bottle.

The handle easily folds up so that it is compact and easy to carry with you. What my father-in-law liked best about this lighted magnifier is that it uses a AAA battery. The battery is in the handle of the magnifier. Not only are these batteries easy to find, the battery is easy for him to replace.
