hey Steve,

Use a very large screen and put it further away (TV sized).

That should help, I use the same trick (I'm at +3 now, in only a very few years from not wearing glasses at all).

You can go to a TV store with your dad and a laptop, plug it in and see if it works for him without shelling out $.

32" or even 40" at 1920x1080 at 4' or 6' would be good options to try. Philips has some cheap 4K screens that may be worth trying as well.

Best of luck!




Adding to this, a large 40+ inch 4k television run in hiDPI mode on a Mac still looks very, very crisp (no blurriness around edges of text or anything) while displaying huge text and UI elements. This is probably one of the best bets for readability for those with poor vision
