How do you know what magnification to buy? I do know that 10x is too much

Hi Sharon. The magnification depends on what you are using it for. For tweezing, you want high magnification. To see the tiniest of hairs. To put on makeup because of bad eyesight? Maybe not so much. I went to Bed Bath and Beyond (or really whatever store carries magnifying mirrors) and tested them out first to see what magnification I needed. 10x is perfect for me for tweezing. I hope this helps you! Good Luck!

I find the magnification of this mirror to be just right. I think it depends on your personal preference. I also find 10x to be too much.

It depends on what you will be using it for. A lot of people like a 5X to apply make up or shave because you don't have to be so close to the mirror so you have room to work and you can see your whole face. With say a 10X you have to be closer to focus on a smaller area of your face. So basically the less the magnification the father away from the mirror you can be and as they get stronger you have to be pretty close to focus. I hope this helps!

It sounds like 5x is right for you if 10x is too much. My 18-year old daughter loves the 5x. However, I'm over 50 and need the 10X since my eyesight is not what it used to be.

I really didn't know. I took a chance and it worked out to be a good choice. I'm very happy with it.

I experienced one of these in a hotel room first so knew that this was precisely right. Enough to see every eyelash but not so much that my pores look like Mammoth Caves. This mirror has been just perfect in every way!

I believe 1X will provide slight magnification beyond what you see in a regular mirror. The mirror I ordered has a 7X magnification on the other side and it is wonderful!

Hi Marcia, sorry, I'm not too sure, probably only 2x or 4x, it suits me as I was not looking for something overly powerful, it is a great looking magnifying glass and good quality also....cheers Rob

My best guess would be 7x. There are no markings so I can't be sure. It's very good magnification, but if you're really concerned you'd have to contact Conair.

Hello Joy, The magnification of this product is 2X. Complete information about it can be found at the following URL: http://www.opticsplanet.com/carson-magnifold-lighted-magnifier-mj50.html If you need more magnification, try the more compact 5X magnification "Carson 5x MiniBrite LED Lighted Slide-Out Aspheric Magnifier with Protective Sleeve (PO-55)" Also sold by Amazon. I own both of them and use them both of them everyday, and they are each extremely useful! I hope this is helpful to you! Matt K

The magnification is stated as 5X. I purchased this for my father in-law who has macula degeneration, it has helped his situation somewhat. Hope this helps...

Dear Bruce, At the moment we do not have a sensor mirror with a higher magnification than 5X. We do however appreciate your feedback and I will pass this along to the team. We hope that our products can continue to serve you well for the years ahead. Best, simplehuman

Yes, though its 5x magnification is a bit high for reading menus extensively.2x magnification might be more appropriate, depending on your vision.

40x is a magnification high enough that steady hands and immobile rest are critical for a good view. 40x is tricky to visually "navigate" but excellent clarity once focused. 20 x (pictured) is decent as well . It is like a small magnifying glass with a tiny led light. good for larger items . Both work well.

Floxite makes an excellent product. That being said, if you want to see the line of demarcation when you apply foundation, I think you'd be better off with an 8x or 9x simply because the 10x is so magnified that you can only see a small portion of your face at a time. It is difficult to get used to it. I had an 8x/9x for 6 years & loved it. I now have a 10X and it works great but I think it's a little too magnified for me and I am blind as a bat. If you just want to see one eye at a time then this is the one for you. Hope this helps.

there are 10x and 20x interchangeable eyepieces, there are four lens settings on the rotating disk. I'm not sure of those magnifications, though.

I don't know the magnification, I looked on the web-site, and it wasn't there. I bought it for my husband to read maps, his globe, and other things. He says it is good for that, plenty strong. I looked through it at some very small print, with my glasses off and I could make it out. It's a very nice gift, or for yourself...

I'd start with a good 2X Barlow lens. It doubles the mag of all your other eyepieces...

A barlow is fine. I use the GSO Barlow that actually gives you two magnification choices... http://agenaastro.com/gso-1-25-2x-achromatic-barlow-lens.html

Honestly unless you are making good money off of it go with the 28mm 1.8 it is fantastic. The 24mm is exceptional but 9 times out of ten you will have the same image for 3x the price and twice the weight/size.

Depends on what MM eyepiece you are going to purchase. Anything below a 9MM would most likely not give you a focused view. The 90 GT is a 910 focal length telescope and pushing the magnification past 100X will definitely (Unless you have perfect seeing, darkness, and transparency.) be difficult to focus and define. If you go with a 9MM , 12MM or a 18MM Xcel eyepiece you will have no problems using these with the 90 GT.

This would like telescopes that claim 500X power. It's just not possible. When you get to high power optics, all the pieces become super critical, especially the stand or mount. At high magnification, even a slight vibration destroys the view. The Practical limit is probably 1/2 of what they are claiming. But, that is still good for many study applications.
