Looky 4
The Looky 4 has a special design and has a different appearance from the standard Looky. Nevertheless, it has all the unique features that make this type of handheld magnifier so popular, supplemented with a number of innovative features that make it even simpler to use and yield even better results.
One of these new features is the special touch interface that makes it extremely simple to use. This handheld magnifier also has a touch screen which offers excellent colour reproduction and brightness: images and texts are clearer than ever before!
The Looky 4 maintains the original concept with a centrally-positioned HD camera. The aid also has an ergonomic handle that fits comfortably in the hand. This Looky is also ‘small but great’. It fits easily into your breast pocket or handbag, so you can always take it with you.
