I've kept a magnifying glass in my desk drawer for years. Only been the past year or so that I've
had to drag it out. I suppose it's just cheaper to print stuff really, really small. Probably saves
'em a lot of ink money, not to mention paper, trees, forests, global warming, etc., etc.
Go to the dollar store and get a pair of "350" reading glasses.
I keep them on my work bench for working on tiny printed circuit
boards and putting leads into subminiature connectors.
It also works on the bane of all old guys, reading the engraved
numbers on a glass fuse cap.
Can't do it. I have to have an eight degree prism to correct for a weak muscle in one eye. None of
the drugstore reading glasses have that, so I'd get double vision - vertically. Pain in the butt.
But, the ophthalmologist guy says as long as a prescription will work, don't go the surgery route.
