How Well Can I See?

This is a quick video of how far I have to lean in to see the computer WITHOUT the magnifier active. Notice that leaning in like that is not good for your back. So I try to avoid it as often as I can. II also go over the usability of print material without any magnification what so ever.

Have you thought about retina surgery?

I WAS TRYING TO SEE YOUR KEYBOARD AND THERE'S NO LETTERS. DO YOU HAVE A BRAILLE OVERLAY ON YOUR KEYBOARD? ALSO CONCERNING READING PRINT, AS AN ALTERNATIVE IDEA, MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET AN ADJUSTABLE MUSIC STAND SO THAT YOU CAN SIT UP STRAIGHT AND PUT THE BOOK ON THE MUSIC STAND. I CAN'T READ PRINT ANYMORE, BUT THE IDEA POPPED IN MY BRAIN SO I THOUGHT I'D JUST SHARE THAT.

You must be far sighted or something. Because, without my glasses, i have 20/200 vision, but i can see 12-point fonts on my monitor easily from arms length away or so, maybe a little closer. I don`t generally wear my glasses, most of the time, but i need them if i`m waiting for a bus and want to see which bus is coming, or to see people clearly from a certain distance at night.

This is tough :( Have you thought about buying a projector and having your PC output to the wall? It would be huge. I agree you definately don't want to hunch over to read things. I hope you experience the Glory of God someday and he gives you new eyes.
