USH Bit 6: Smartphone Screen Magnifiers

If you enjoy watching videos, joining video calls, or reading the news on your phone—but struggle because of low vision—a smartphone screen magnifier might make a big difference.

A phone screen magnifier is a physical device that works like a stand with a built-in magnifying lens. When you place your phone behind the lens, everything on the screen—text, images, and videos—appears bigger and easier to see.

Why it helps:

  • Makes small text and images look larger
  • Reduces eye strain
  • Lets you keep the phone farther from your face, reducing exposure to radiation
  • Comfortable for watching videos hands-free

Where to get it:

These magnifiers come in many designs from various manufacturers. You can easily find them by searching online.


Cost: Rs200 and up
