Reading the lines on products

Tweet

Ever since I was a young kid I never had problems with my eyes. I could see perfectly well. Getting older now I am facing problems and so I'm wearing glasses. But no matter what glasses I use I always have a hard time reading the information on wrappers or boxes when I wanna buy something. Trying to live my life as healthy as possible I like to read about ingredients. But why do those factories give us such a hard time with it? Too often the letters are very small. Combined with lamplight it's impossible to read it well. And to make matters worse, often all is colored. A lightgreen background and then darkgreen letters on it for example. Give me a break! Ever tried to read the lines on a CD cover? You almost need a magnifier for all those things. I don't like the idea of discrimination. Permanent. But here I do feel discriminated. As if older people have no reason to be. The younger generation can read it. They are the biggest customers so forget about the old folks. And I'm only 56 yo! So there are more problems to come. It makes me feel kinda sad.
