My grandmother had a floor lamp with a round light and a magnifying glass in the middle which she could pull over for her to read the newspaper. She didn't want to hold on to the paper and the magnifying glass - she bought it back in the 80's. It must have been something her a doctor recommended or she found in a catalog. (She lived in Burlington KS and going to Emporia was going to the big city after she turned 75.) She lived to be 93.
