 On a typical day, I spend more than six hours in front of a computer screen. Even for those with excellent vision, staring at a computer screen all day can cause eyestrain. My vision is far from perfect; I am far-sighted and wear bifocals. This causes a dilemma when working on a computer. If I wear my glasses, I get a kink in my neck from raising my head to see through the bottom of my glasses. If I don't wear my glasses, at the end of the day I have a headache and sore, watery eyes from eyestrain.

 Every now and then an interesting little
program comes to my attention. Such was the case when one of my readers
sent an e-mail with an attachment called "oldpeople.exe." This
attachment turned out to be a great little magnifying glass for your
computer screen.

 Surfing the Internet is great, but it can be
hard on aging eyes. Even with excellent eyesight, the small print on a
computer screen can cause eyestrain. By age 55 nearly 100% of the
population is affected by presbyopia
where small print becomes difficult to read and bifocals become a
necessity of life. Other vision problems like age-related macular
degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma can also be a detriment to using
a computer. Now, however, there is an inexpensive visual aid for aging
eyes and the Internet.
