Freedom Scientific’s assistive technology empowers people with low vision or blindness to live independently. The new TOPAZ PHD, Portable Video Magnifier, is a lightweight, transportable version of Freedom Scientific’s popular desktop magnifier. This portable model folds away like a laptop, extending the usability and productivity features to mobile users (students and frequent travelers) as well as to those seeking a sleeker, more inconspicuous solution for their home.
