The optician told me that I have two options to ”make it” for my long-sightedness. One is getting a special type of contact lenses and the other is to prescribe a pair of long sighted glasses. Both options didn’t sound very ideal to me since the first will incur more expenses in the long run and the second, a lot of inconvenience. But it was really getting tougher to read those tiny prints despite squinting my eyes real hard. So yesterday, I hit Popular Bookstore, thinking of getting a pair of magnifying glasses but instead found this!
It’s a magnifying sheet the size of a credit card which I can fit into my wallet and bring it along everywhere! And it was only a dollar!
(^O^)
Now I won’t have to worry about missing that dubious ingredient anymore…
I have a small one hook on my key chain just in case of someone I know can’t see the menu when ordering.

Can I ask which section of Popular you bought this from? I think it’s such a clever invention and so practical to use. Going to head down Popular to grab a few for my folks and myself
Thanks for sharing, Sesame !
SSF: I love this! You can get it at the stationary corner. Usually they keep it under lock…so check with the sales assistants.

Same here! I keep a small magnifying film (actually, it was the bookmark from my pocket sized NIV Bible, I cut it out of the poor book, so it’s “free” hahahaha….) in my wallet. It’s also credit card sized, and I use it to read price tags. LOL!
