Brings closer to the eye... URGENT HELP PLEAAAAAASE!

Hello all,

I have a confusing question and need the help of native English speakers pleeeease.

What does bring closer in the following statement mean?

Hand lens (magnifying glass) brings objects closer to your eye.

knowing that hand lens/ magnifying glass magnifies thins, does the statement above (brings closer) have the same meaning of physically brings objects to the eyes?


Help pleeeeeeeeeeease!

Hey dear!

Similar but not quite, the statement has an implicit *appears* in it - A magnifiying glass (appears to) bring objects closer to your eyes. It doesn't physically move them, but they look closer
