    good idea! I took a pic of white writing on a black background to show the dr. that I see a big whitish cloud in the middle of that. I do best with black on white, not the gray on white that a lot of websites use.

    Lever myself up! Love it. That's me, too. I need leverage to get up from almost anything.

    I have single vision glasses also. Best money I ever spent. They are perfect for the computer and for the piano. I haven't tried them yet for sewing, but I will now.
