No doubt this topic has been covered exhaustively in this newsgroup, but
I am a recent subscriber, so please bear with me.

My spouse's grandfather suffered from some degenerative eye disease;  by
the time his doctor stopped it, grandpa was left with 1% of his vision
in one eye, and 5% in the other.  As a result, he is unable to read
print without the aid of a magnifying glass.

Undoubtedly there exists some technology designed to display enlarged
print matter for the visually impaired.  I would greatly appreciate any
advice or suggestions about such technology.

Thanks for your help.
