As your macular degeneration progresses magnification becomes more important. A cell phone magnifier will enable you to see the names and numbers listed on your cell phone display and in the address book.My friend Vicky accidentally called me last week thinking she was calling Linda and not Leslie. Maybe that has happened to you because you can't quite see the display on your cell phone. Did you know that there is an easy and inexpensive solution? Click here to learn more:Cell Phone Magnifier
Kindle 2 is an electronic reader that offers enlarged fonts and text to speech reading capabilities - a great visual aid for those with macular degeneration. You can increase the text size of your favorite book or periodical with the push of a button. If your eyes tire, simply increase the font size and continue reading comfortably. Kindle has six adjustable font sizes. Now every book in your library can be large print. Images and photos display crisply on Kindle 2 and can be zoomed to the full size of the screen.

Laptop Screen Magnifier
Many people are now replacing their desk top computers for a laptop. Soon I will be as well. I can't wait to have a laptop that can go outside with me or go with me when I travel. However, you will be trading portability for a smaller screen. If you have trouble seeing the smaller screen try a laptop screen magnifier.
So far I have only been able to find one product.
Here is one of the reviews from Amazon:
"I bought this magnifier for my 70ish mother. She really likes it. She said it makes everything on her laptop screen clearer, and she doesn't have to put her face right to the screen anymore. It was easy to install (she actually did it herself, and that's an accomplishment!)."
As your macular degeneration progresses find ways to adjust and adapt. These magnifiers will help you continue to enjoy today's technology without the frustration of trying to see small numbers or words.
