Any suggestions for grocery shopping?

My AMD has been stable for a couple of years now, but I still can’t read fine print on labels. This can be very frustrating at the grocery store, especially if I’m looking for something I don’t usually buy. Is there a small handheld gadget I can use? For various reasons I prefer not to use my phone.

  1. I find reading the ingredient labels challenging because in addition to the fine print, I also need more light to do so. Maybe turn on the flashlight on your cell phone and use a flat plastic sheet magnifier that can be stored in your wallet. Or in lieu of a cell phone, use a flashlight attached to a key chain.

    1. those are some great tips for grocery shopping. Since the Covid days, I do grocery pickup and shop online for home delivery. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader
