>>I have 1x reading glasses that I bought at Walmart (per the eye doctor's recommendation) and use for reading fine print on medicine bottles, ingredients on food products and shampoo, et al. I finally had to admit that the print wasn't getting smaller and it was my eyes :o)

>I had good eyesight until recently - maybe last 5 years - but eventually it turned into a kind of push ups for the eye, so I started getting reading glasses. Started with 1.25, then 1.5 and am happy with a 2.0 now.

>My usual frustration is exactly the shampoo. The print isn't getting smaller, it's the word "shampoo" (vs "conditioner") that is getting smaller and smaller and being tucked into unexpected corners of the label. You get a lot of large print on the bottle, but it's all the words that help sell the bottle, not exactly the words that could help you know what's inside.

When I want to ascertain which is the shampoo, in the shower, I make a wee pin-hole with my thumb and curled index finger, and peer through that. You'd be surprised that you can read ANYTHING, without glasses, that way.

>And as Murphy will have it, when there are 6 bottles around the tub, only one of them will be the shampoo, and that one will be empty.
