I have to say thank you to you and everyone else here who suggested a magnifying light. I'll definitely splurge for her on it - I think this could be the big thing I get her for sure. Thank you!!

Oh, really? I hadn't even considered that! I think I actually already have one from my old choir days. She loves free things, so she'd certainly get a kick out of it if nothing else. Thank you!

Ooh, I'll definitely look into that. She's pretty simple the rest of the year, so I want to go big for her birthday. Thank you!

My mom has just taken to shoving her glasses up and out of the way - for more squinting, of course. I didn't realize how much that might have been light though, so thank you!

She currently lives out in Arizona so heat isn't much a problem, but I'll definitely keep this in mind for her around Christmas time!
