Aw, your mom sounds like a sweetheart. I don’t know if this would help, but let me share with you how I accommodate my visual challenges in the hope that perhaps it may help.
What we’ve done is buy a YUGE monitor, and from there, set the resolution to the largest option.
I’ve adjusted the brightness and purchased anti-glare plastic shields, and tilted the monitor downward.
The addition of cheap dollar reading glasses brings the vision to within readability range.
This means that I can read Free Republic and keep the mind active, which means the world to me.
Thank you! I will do that!
