Did you know that magnifying glasses are also called hand lenses? I didn’t know until just today. I use one a lot to read my great uncle’s diary because it was written back in 1874 and some of the writing is a little faded. The one I have also has a light on it to illuminate what you’re looking at. These are very handy things to have and I don’t think I could live without one now that I’m getting older and my eyesight is getting worse.
