Don’t have a viewer? Need another one, or just something small and lightweight to view your cards without having to get out a large viewer? The Loreo Lite 3D Viewer made from plastic coated card paper with the inside surface printed black to create a dark viewing chamber.

This fun easy to use viewer works with stereo cards available on this site as well as the ability to view the cards in 3D on screen. At less than $4.00 this is a must have for any enthusiast!

General Instructions:

This viewer may be used with or without eyeglasses. If you are severely long or short sighted it is recommended that you keep your glasses on.
The viewing panel still bulges a little in brand new viewers, but settles in well after being erected and used.
Please note that this is not a "back-lighted" viewer. It works best when the 3D prints are well lit but not directly reflecting light into the viewer.
If you use bifocals please view the through the upper part of your eyeglasses, not the lower part, which is for reading. Viewing the pictures appears to be a close-up task, but viewing 3D images through this viewer will not work well if you use the reading lens.

Care and Troubleshooting:

While your Loreo Lite 3D Viewer is not waterproof, it is water resistant. Spit and phlegm droplets on the Lite Viewer should be harmless, but rain or salt water splashes will damage the card paper.
To clean the viewer wipe with a clean cloth. A soiled lens may be gently cleaned with lens tissue moistened with lens cleaning fluid or by breathing on the lens surface. Never put liquid lens cleaner directly onto any lens. Do not wipe with a dry tissue as it may scratch the lens surface.
