From Eschenbach:

Optaro® is the first video magnifier specifically made for a smartphone. It easily attaches to an iPhone turning two devices into one. By downloading the free app, it allows the iPhone to communicate with the Optaro® camera, turning the phone into a full-featured video magnifier.

Optaro® can be attached to an iPhone one of two ways, one of which is an integrated case that holds the iPhone and Optaro® camera module together. There are 13 iPhone cases available designed to fit on iPhone models 12 - 15 Pro Max. For iPhones out of this range there is an Optaro® Universal Stand available.

Once connected, the Optaro® camera module provides a Full HD image, 3.3x - 15x magnification and a large field of view visible on the iPhone screen. The LED illumination can be adjusted or turned off, ensuring a glare-free image, and there are 14 color mode options from which to choose. With adjustable reading lines and blinds, a read aloud function, and customizable menu, the Optaro® is designed to provide a more comfortable viewing experience for those with vision loss.

The fold-out stand on the Optaro® holds the iPhone at a comfortable ergonomic angle and the camera, located under the center of the phone, automatically swivels into the reading position when folded out to ensure there is no on-screen distortion or orientation issues.
