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.
that's a good question. I use my phone, but realise that there might be reasons not to. I don't use my phone as a magnifier, I take a quick photo on the shelf and then enlarge the photo on my screen so that I'm not still holding the product and I'm holding the phone comfortably at a normal height. The other thing I do is find the product online beforehand and take a photo of it on my phone. Then I show the photo to the store assistant and ask if they have it. Wendy, Patient Leader. 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. 
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 that flat, plastic sheet magnifier sounds interesting. I haven't heard of them. Sometimes I worry that I'll leave my phone on the shelf when I get it out at the supermsrket. I must have a look online. Thanks for your comment. Wendy, Patient Leader.
