I can finally see and type!

For several years I have used my iPad to use the forum. My iMac was too far to see well for my bifocals and too near for the distance correction.I tried trifocals with a tiny  strip, which didn't work well.

I finally put the pieces all together. I picked up a second pair of glasses today. They are "computer" glasses with the entire lenses corrected for the trifocals range.These would have worked with my old iMac, although I recently purchased a new base model M4 Mac Mini and a 24" monitor. Using the command key and the + key, I can easily fill the entire screen with the post. My Magic Keyboard works so much better than the onscreen iPad keyboard.I still have to learn how to find some Swedish symbols to do things like Hakan correctly. That will happen. . . .

I am a happy camper.

EDIT:  Håkan. Success! I consulted a Mac expert at Tormek. Samuel also happens to be the CEO. He had told me that he has been a Mac fan since the 1990s. Even though it was evening in Sweden, he answered my email within an hour. The answer was to hold down the "a" key until the options appear. Then, still holding down the "a" key, press the number key with the desired option. In this case it was number 8.

Thank you, Samuel!

Ken, have you never tried progressive lenses? They seamlessly transition from far vision to near vision and everything in between. I've been using them for about 25 years now, ever since I first developed presbyopia and needed bifocals. Prior to that I had needed glasses since I was teenager for far vision. And also for astigmatism.

Glad you found a solution that works for you.
