[AccessD] Old Eyes - New Mouse!

I have a mouse which has a 'magnify' button on the left side.  When that
button is pushed, a rectangular area of the screen will be opened.  When I
click the button again, the magnified area goes away.  As I move the mouse
the magnified area moves with it.

You can change the size of the magnified area, and also adjust the
magnification power from 1.5X to 5X.

The mouse is a wired Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse 3000.  It's very
lightweight, very small, and really helps to prevent repetitive motion pain.
And it's cheap - $14 at Amazon.

You can get these in a wireless version, but those are heavier.

HTH!

I have my contact lenses calibrated for mono vision.  One eye for close, one
eye for far.  No cheaters! I'm not going back to that business of having
readers lying all over the house so they're always handy.

I go back  to the spectacles then. I bought some in Asda (Walmart) for $3.
The are non-prescription.  For me, it was magnification 1.175 and they go to
4 and above (milk bottle  tops).  With these I can program without
squinting.  I do  not  need them for normal reading of things  like
newspapers, labels etc.  but  if I am reading a book for example then I will
put them on, to save my eyes from straining.

They work great for programming too.  I also have a size 2.0 which I use
when I need to read the small print that comes on microchips and other
electronic bits which I cannot make out with the naked eye.

If you already wear prescription glasses, then just get re-tested for a more
powerful set.

That will change the point size on the data in the tables but not the size
in the design view.  Which is where I really need it.
