New Jersey Baby Boomer

Are you having a hard time reading the text at some websites or on some blogs?  I try hard to use templates that make it easy to read posts to my blogs, and on my main website, but the way a person has the resolution set on their computer can affect font and image size.

There’s a very quick solution for making it easier to read text on the screen; hold down the “ctrl” (control) button on your keyboard, then tap the + (plus) sign on the keyboard to increase the size…to reduce size you do the same thing and tap the – (minus) sign.  A great tip for Baby Boomers who are seeing their eyesight change…and not for the positive.

Of course if you need eyeglasses, you may find that increasing the size of the font is not enough…letters and images are blurry. That’s the case with me, and most of us Baby Boomers, almost anyone after the age of 40. I was able to get one pair of eyeglasses at a fairly reasonable price because I have insurance, but asked the doctor for a prescription for just the reading portion of my progressive lenses. I am thinking of getting them online through Zenni Optical because their prices are incredibly low. My optometrist was a little put off when I asked him for the prescription, and said “why don’t you ask me what I would charge you for the glasses”, so I did, and he said $100. Well with a source online that can provide them for about 1/10th of that price, it was an easy decision.

Here’s an article, a review about Zenni that someone wrote that may interest you.
