Approach magnification is a simple but sometimes overlooked technique for enhancing the client's residual vision. The nurse can recommend that the client sit closer to the television or hold books closer to the eyes, which the client may be reluctant to do unless encouraged. Using a telescopic lens is an optical device. Using a black-tipped marker to write is a contrast enhancement technique. Reading large-type print books may be helpful but is not an approach magnification action unless the book was brought close to the eyes, which is not indicated in the answer choice.
