Need Some Computer Help, Please

Reading glasses. They are cheap. Available everywhere. Even at Dollar Tree.

Those are the ones I use, and only good up to about 24" away then forgetaboutit !  You might try fiddling with your screen resoulution and set it to a higher number to sharpen the edges a bit.... the downside is sometimes the icons get really tiny.  My standard Monitor is 27 inches which is OK for a desktop, but I do have to don the glasses to read the fine print on packaging and such.  Getting old bites !! 

Well, I tried some of Dondra's old cast-off glasses, but yeah, I'm sitting about three feet away from my screen, so they aren't any help (the strongest ones - I think- are 2.75.

So I bought some of those "dial-in" sight glasses one sees on tv and they seem to be working okay so far. I am also going to my eye doctor next week for a check-up and a look at the macular degeneration which probably has gotten worse as well. Need cataract removal too. All of those together ought to do SOME good, don'tcha think?

Thanks, Guys

When you are working at the computer, rest your eyes for at least 20 seconds by looking at something 20 feet (6.1 m) away after using the computer for 20 minutes. If you have a window nearby, looking at something outdoors is a great option.
