I have a son who is retired and today he taught me a new thing.

Why I ask do firms use such tiny print.?

To save space.

I have seen several eye doctors buddy.

The dollar store sells cheap reading glasses for, let's see, about a buck.

I have reading glasses. Actually the print has to be almost invisible for me to put glasses on. My vision is excellent.

Moonglow is very low light. So thanks for the shadows.

Kidding aside cataract eye problems can sneak up on senior citizens. Years ago a mostly fair skinned blue eyed person could gradually go blind due to cataracts but today a relatively simple operation will restore vision. The other age related eye problem , macular degeneration, is a different issue. I've had both and it's no fun.

You must be older than shit.

I had my lenses replaced around 15 years ago. And the surgery is excellent.

Don't keep turds bottled up like that.

If you think a freaking magnifying glass is your solution to eye problems

That is today's silly statement.

They've got a lot of information to put on the label/packaging. They have to shrink it to fit.

I guess they don't want you to read them.

Wasn't that the point of the post?

Most people won't. But it's there so the company's lawyers can fight any lawsuit over anything that's on the label that the plaintiff didn't read and so did something stupid.

 

[whitehall]

Maybe it's off topic or not but my eye doctor diagnosed me with age related macular degeneration and after more than a year of treatment that involved expensive eyeball injections I still came down with blurred vision in my eye.

True, it's all CYA with a few instructions.
