I rigged up an assistive device.

An electronic magnifier that puts an image from a hand-held mouse-style camera on a (46 inch / 116cm on the diagonal) television screen.

Effective magnification is 20 times.

Magnifiers with small screens at high magnifications show only a small section of text.
My large screen allows multiple words & adjacent lines to be on the screen.
Orientation is easier to maintain.

Pics to come.

The agenda for this Thursday is firstly not to overheat like yesterday, secondly it's a lunchtime trip into Leicester city centre for an optician appointment.

I'm seeing distortion on the Amsler Chart which has worried me and I want a professional opinion on it, hence the Opticians.

We might treat ourselves to Greggs for lunch in Town Hall Square - knowing, as we do, how to live the high life.

Have a good one (and look at that Chart occasionally if you're of a certain age)

Today I've got a dentist's appointment mid morning - which if I remember correctly is to deal with a long-standing tiny cavity in one of my few remaining upper teeth (the rest are crowns or implants).

I've noticed a few wavy lines on the optician's Amsler Chart - I'm due a checkup in June so I think it's ok to leave it until then.

This getting old business is certainly worrying!

We've agreed to go and see our daughter tomorrow and that means a sneak preview of her new flat (and to scope out the parking issues for the removal van)

It seems as though it's going to be warm and sunny here in the English East Midlands today.

I hope you are feeling warm & sunny - but if you're not then I'm sending some rays your way.

👁️ The rounded slab serif typeface Maxular by Steven Skaggs is great for text or any setting where a “typewriter” style is desired. Maxular is also the first typeface designed to address the visual distortions caused by Macular Degeneration (MD), which afflicts over 6 million people globally. The Rx versions are free for personal use.

Definitely not a "miracle", but rather promising findings. So if you suffer from any of the mentioned conditions - especially macular degeneration or diabetes - ask your ophthalmologist for advice if this could be an alternative or supportive treatment for you to do at home. Or ask for later update if any further research results are available.

I wonder if this is what folks with #macularDegeneration see . everything has a fuzzy block spot or is the black a ring that closes in?

In advanced stages of macular degeneration, the brain receives distorted visual information. This frequently causes hallucinations. The patient knows what they're seeing isn't "real," but the image the brain offers up is very different from what's there.

This is extremely common, yet no one talks about it due to stigma. Also, many physicians don't know much about it. Both of these need to change.
