The reading stand encourages an upright, orthopaedically correct posture and therefore prevents back pain. When the reading stand is used in conjunction with a magnifying vision aid (e.g. system varioPLUS) , an optimum angle of view and a uniform distance to the reading material are always achieved, as well as bright illumination of the field of view. Guarantees stability and a tremble-free image. Supporting surface area: 40 x 35 cm.
