A magnifying glass is a lens through which you can look to make things appear larger, so you can see them better.
The magnifying glass consists of a piece of convex-shaped glass.
It has to be held at the right distance between the eye and the object.
The magnifying glass usually comes with a handle.
A telescope is a more advanced kind of magnifying glass and consists of at least two glass lenses. A pair of binoculars is like a telescope for each eye.
Spectacles or eyeglasses also use lenses to correct a person's vision.
