Abstract

The use of cost-effective magnifying glasses is innovation in the field of microsurgery. Magnification methods usually in practice are microscopes and binocular loupes. Foldable magnifying eye glass is a new addition. It is readily available at a low cost, convenient to carry and easy to use.1 Wound inspection, Diagnosis of skin lesions, Tissue visualisation, suturing and suture removal made easy with the help of the cost-effective magnifying glass. In this review article we will assess the multiple roles of cost-effective magnifying glass.
