My coworker brought these magnifying glasses from Costco for cheap. I had put them on and small words really jumped out at me. They were awesome.
I'll have tell my mom about them because her eyes are starting to strain as well.
I don't think that you'll need heavy glasses like me, Lise, probably -1 or -2 that could be brought from Superstore for under 10 bucks or something.
Lasik? No, I'm not taking chances and messing around wth my eyes like that EVER!
