We are very proud that our products have already helped tens of thousands of people around the world, and the numbers are growing everyday. Here are just a handful of comments that customers have made in the past:

I've had my colormouse for almost 2 months and I'm beginning to wonder how I managed without it. It is so easy to use and comfortable to hold too. I'm considering purchasing one to use with my lap-top when I attend meetings.
Being on a housing associations customer board requires a lot of reading, including very detailed spreadsheets and financial reports, I now don't dread these landing on door mat.
Many thanks for such a wonderful product - shame I had to wait until I was in my 60's for such a thing to be invented.
Cheers,
Mandy Buckley (Mrs)

The MonoMouse arrived yesterday and the lady for whom it was obtained and who is aged 91 was in full control of it so quickly. She was so delighted - "I can read, I can read!" She rang two friends in Sydney and her son in London last night to tell them the good news, she was so thrilled. One just does not understand the magnitude of such a handicap until it is seen first hand.

It is one thing to diagnose macular degeneration, but the doctor should prescribe treatment for it, and the MonoMouse is the only treatment. Ridiculous when the cost is little more than prescription glasses.

"It makes a refreshing change to have something new that we can offer our members, offering an alternative in magnification technology - and the "Maggie" is just that. In this instance size does matter! It is small, neat and compact and the range of magnification means that it can help even those with very limited sight.
"Maggie" is modern by design, making it attractive to both the young and the old. It is easy to carry and simple to operate.

What do we mean by 'Low Vision?'
The majority of us who have blurred vision simply correct this by wearing spectacles or contact lenses.
However, when a person has reduced vision in both eyes which cannot be improved with conventional spectacles or contact lenses, they may be described as having sight loss or low vision. The degree of low vision will vary between individuals and will depend upon the underlying cause or condition.
Although some individuals may be born with poor sight, the vast majority have low vision as a result of a condition or disease that they have acquired in later life. In fact, over 70% of patients who have low vision are over 75 years of age.
A patient who has low vision may also be described as being Visually Impaired, particularly if the level of sight loss affects them in their work or daily lives.
What can cause Low Vision?
Individuals may develop low vision as a result of an eye disease, such as glaucoma, or a general medical condition, such as diabetes. Conditions such as cataract and Age Related Macular Degeneration are conditions that affect many elderly people.
There are many conditions that can cause sight loss. Some are relatively common, whilst others may be quite rare. All individuals are recommended to visit their own eye care practitioner, such as their own Optometrist, on a regular basis. For adults and older children this may be once every two years, and more frequently for younger children and the elderly.
If I suspect Sight Loss what should I do?
If you suspect that you have a problem with your eyes you are recommended to visit an Optometrist for an eye examination. Optometrists are highly qualified health care professionals who will examine your eyes. If your Optometrist suspects that there is anything wrong with your eyes he or she will refer you to a Consultant Ophthalmologist, based at your local hospital.
I have Low Vision - can magnification help?
It makes sense that if we are unable to see something that we either get closer to it or try to make it bigger in some way. That is essentially the basis of magnification. Any device that helps a person with visual impairment to see better may be called a Low Vision Aid (LVA).
Low Vision Aids may be split into two groups, optical and electronic devices.
Optical Low Vision Aids, such as simple hand magnifiers, use an optical lens to magnify the object, such as a newspaper, to assist reading.
Electronic magnificationis a relatively recent concept. Companies such as Bierley have developed a range of products that capture and magnify objects and print electronically. Electronic magnifiers are often called Electronic Low Vision Aids, or ELVA.
Bierley magnifiers and magnification
Bierley's range of electronic magnifiers is suitable for all to use, from the very young to the elderly.
There is more scope with electronic magnification than with traditional optical magnifiers.
- The image may be electronically enhanced and therefore the quality of the image produced is often much better.
- Electronic magnifiers have a greater range of magnification than optical aids.
- The image does not suffer from the distortion often experienced whilst using an optical low vision aid.
What conditions can be assisted by Bierley magnifiers?
Anyone suffering from sight loss may benefit from using a Bierley electronic device. The range of magnification obtained from the large variety of devices that Bierley produce will assist most individuals.
Would electronic magnification work for me?
Yes. Most people with low vision need assistance in reading to continue leading an independent life. Whether reading a newspaper from cover to cover or checking the prices in the supermarket, electronic magnification can assist most people suffering from sight loss.
Who can help me with magnification?
Where possible, it is important to ensure that you have the correct level of magnification, and be able to utilise that magnification in the correct way. There are no detrimental effects of using the incorrect level of magnification, but it can avoid a lot of frustration and disappointment.
Because there is a good range of magnification produced by Bierley magnifiers, most individuals will be able to find a device to address their individual needs.
If you feel that you would benefit from a formal low vision assessment of your sight loss, then it is time to visit your local optometrist.
Will my eyes get worse if I use my Low Vision Aid or Bierley magnifier too much?
Simply, no. You should not give up reading either with or without your glasses or magnifier.
If you feel that your sight is changing then it is not as a result of using your vision or your magnifier.
We would therefore recommend that you visit your Optometrist for an eye examination to determine the underlying cause.
