mort   10 #5 Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Can you tell me how to do it please? Computer dunce!!  To zoom your computer screen in  Hold down the control key then use the wheel on your mouse to increase / decrease the screen size.  This won't work for all sites but will help with some.  You can also buy thin plastic sheets that act as a magnifier for books. I think I got one from clark and partners in hillsborough barracks. They should be available from other places and are light weight.
