i-See Touch
The i-See Touch offers all the benefits of the i-See basic product, together with a number of important additions. As a result, this is the perfect product for many people.
The i-See Touch is operated with user-friendly buttons under the Full HD panel that we developed in house. The Full HD camera and Full HD panel yield very sharp and stable images at all magnifications.
The i-See Touch is also available with optional controls in the table based on a wireless remote control unit. This unit, which is easy to fit in the table, has just two buttons and a dial to adjust the magnification.
The i-See Touch, like the i-See, has a fast and silent autofocus and is equipped with bright illumination that lasts the service life.

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.
Only at 30% or less is there usually an entitlement to a cost contribution from health insurance companies for visual aids (at least WHO level 1).
