    Default Little Numbers + Bad Eyes = Squint


    My eyes have a hard time focusing on the little screen on my iPilot remote and I wanted to see if any of you guys have come up with a way to magnify it. I am thinking of buying some of those stick on bifocal lenses for eye glasses and stick one of them on it. Just looking for any suggestions you guys have or things you’ve tried.

    And before somebody says it….Yes, I do have glasses but only for reading. Don’t need them at a distance and can’t really use them fishing other than tying knots, etc.

    Thanks,
    Richard

    Buy some polarized sunglasses with readers in them, that's what I did.

    I am not at all familiar with an iPilot but does it perhaps have a way to set the font size under some settings menu?

    Polarized sunglasses for sunny days and a pair of readers for cloudy days.

    It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!

    I have some of those cheap readers. Got a three pack from Walmart. Keep one pair in truck, kayak and backup pair at work. Not worried about any of them.

    I ordered some of those stick-on bifocal lenses off Amazon. Figured I’d go this route since I already have good sunglasses. Says they can be trimmed so maybe they won’t be too much of a distraction if I cut them small and get them low on my lenses.
    Guess we’ll see.

    Thanks for the input.
