Reading rods

Reading rods provide relaxed reading. They are especially suitable as a reading aid for large line lengths and for reading computer lists. 

Reading with a reading rod is significantly more comfortable than reading with a magnifying glass, as the latter only enlarges a part of the entire text section and you always have to move the magnifier horizontally over the document to capture everything. Reading rods can simply be moved from top to bottom, allowing you to read freely horizontally. Reading rods can be placed on the document like a ruler and moved down line by line. This way, you don't lose your orientation in the document. Additionally, the lens enlarges the current line and provides a distortion-free image. Reading rods enlarge only in one direction, so letters and numbers are stretched in height, but the width remains unchanged. This supports fatigue-free reading even over longer periods.

Reading rods from SCHWEIZER

All reading rods from SCHWEIZER are made of optically pure plastic, with grip indentations. The usable height varies between different models (between 2 and 3.5 cm). If you tend to read quickly, you are probably used to capturing several lines at once. In that case, choose a larger usable height so that the reading rod gives you the usual freedom.

Tip: We recommend measuring the line length of the books or magazines you usually read when purchasing reading rods. Please then choose a reading rod whose usable length fully covers your widest reading material. This way, you avoid having to move the reading rod from left to right while reading.
