Magnification

The enlargement of visual content to make it more readable for people with low vision. Magnification can be achieved through optical means (magnifying glasses, telescope magnifiers), electronic means (screen magnifiers, CCTV), or digital means (software zoom, pinch-to-zoom). While magnification improves detail visibility, it inherently reduces the amount of content visible at once, creating a trade-off between readability and context. In digital environments, magnification software like ZoomText or built-in OS magnifiers can enlarge screen content while providing features like smooth tracking and color enhancement.
