My computer glasses are focused at six inches. Hence the amount of screen I can take in in one glance is limited. At size of font I'm using now, I can see "My computer gl" without moving my head. Incidentally, with the last lurch downward, I can no longer see myself in the mirror. Six inches is too close: try it. More than six inches & my insane optical cortex takes over and manufactures the view into something strange and barbarous.
The font size I'm using right now keeps the above line showing through "into." That's good enough when I'm composing a short note. For anything much more complicated I'd have to write in a word file and keep it all on screen..
Incidentally, with macular degeneration, as with other non-treatable ailments, whole industries grow up to prey on those who have it.
