Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the advantage of an Eschenbach aspheric lens?
Aspheric lenses allow for high magnification with a large lens diameter and provide a sharp image right to the edge, without the distortions typical of spherical lenses.
2. Are the LEDs in Eschenbach magnifiers replaceable?
The LEDs used are designed for an extremely long service life and generally do not need to be replaced. They offer constant light quality for years with very low energy consumption.
3. How should I best clean my Eschenbach optics?
For cleaning, a dry, soft microfiber cloth is recommended. For heavier soiling, a damp cloth with a little mild detergent can be used. Avoid aggressive solvents to protect the lens coating.
4. Are magnifying spectacles suitable for people who wear glasses?
Yes, Eschenbach offers specialized clip-on solutions or magnifying attachments (like the labo-med range) that can be comfortably worn over standard prescription glasses to enable magnified work.
