i-See HD
The i-See was designed for the user – which is evident from the appliance! The product is functional in use. Each option is adjustable, and the design is ergonomic. The i-See can be used with all customary TFT LCD monitors (19, 22, 24 and 27 inch). You can adjust the settings precisely to your needs.
The i-See has fast and silent autofocus that ensures that the text or image is immediately bright and clear. The text in the thickest telephone books and the small letters in the information leaflets supplied with medicines are always completely sharp, as are photos. You are always offered the choice between continuous autofocus and manual focus.
The i-See is equipped with special bright illumination that lasts the service life. The light is soft on your eyes, so you are much less likely to be dazzled. You can use the i-See during the day and at night.

Frequently asked questions
An electronic magnifier is a magnifying aid that consists of a monitor and a camera above a table. An electronic magnifier is sometimes referred to as a ‘TV magnifier’ or ‘CCTV’ (Closed Circuit Television).
You place the object you wish to view (such as printed or handwritten text or a photo, etc.) on the table. The magnified object is then displayed on the monitor, with more contrast if you so require.
Electronic magnifiers have a range of functionality. All have a number of high-contrast modes that are ideal for reading text. These high-contrast modes increase the contrast to make the letters more legible. A range of contrasting text and/or background colours are also available. In addition to offering increased contrast, electronic magnifiers also have photo modes for the display of photos and other image material in bright colours. Electronic magnifiers with a text-to-speech function are also available.
You qualify for an electronic magnifier when you have been diagnosed with a visual impairment to a degree that makes it impossible or almost impossible to read without this aid.
First of all, people with low vision for whom glasses or a handheld magnifier is no longer sufficient. Our electronic magnifiers are used by people with disorders such as macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts.
At home, work, school and elsewhere.
Your health insurance provider reimburses the basic provision of a screen-reading device. However, the screen-reading device must be prescribed in advance by a specialist in ophthalmology. For more detailed information about reimbursement of the costs, you can contact your health insurance provider, or for further information regarding coverage of this assistive device, please contact us.
Your GP will usually refer you to an ophthalmologist or other specialist. The Netherlands has a number of regional institutions that have a great deal of knowledge about aids such as electronic magnifiers and have demonstration appliances available. You can contact us for an address in your neighbourhood.
