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. http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Notebook-Optical-Mouse-3000/dp/B000A6NUU6/re f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1252588561&sr=8-1 You can get these in a wireless version, but those are heavier. HTH!

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 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.

Which is where I really need it.
