I have a number of vision issues. I really rely on my "quilter's foot" which has the 1/4 left and right as well as front and back markings.
Because of my distortions, I was feeding the machine at a slant and found I need a marker several inches below the needle/towards me to help keep me straight. I first started using a fancy kid's finger bandage and I like the little bump of the pad as well as the visual. I also have to remind myself about proper chair positioning and sit correctly, both ergonomically and in relation to the machine.
This last summer I got an actual sewing table that allows my machine to drop down to flush with the table height. I actually prefer having it above for piecing, but I'm going to try flush for awhile to see if/how to adjust. Those couple of inches lower means I have to wear stronger readers than I have been using.
