iPad Do you have your iPad set to the stock zoom level, or do you make things lager/smaller?

My eyes have started to go a bit blurry, and I’m thinking it could be caused by the larger iPad, which my eyes are not used to?

How about you?

I keep the iPad at the standard zoom level, but put the text size up several notches. There’s no use squinting a lot when we can adjust the size of things on the iPad.

I tried that, but not all text is larger.

True. Some apps also allow you to change text size (i.e. Safari). This method covers my main apps, so I get by without changing the zoom. It’s an option, anyway…. Changing the zoom, works better for other folks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I use the More Space option on my 13” Pro. I keep Stage Manager engaged at all times and like the extra “space” for windowing. I haven’t had an issue with text, but have a wide assortment of reading glasses nearby to choose from.

There are at least a half dozen pairs of reading glasses scattered around our house for this reason lol. I tend to lean towards reading glasses rather than try to account for my vision loss with UI adjustments because I prioritize screen real estate. Eventually I might have to cave and make accommodations but for now that's my strategy.

I think I need an eye test.

If my vision is organically deteriorating, I’ll get laser eye surgery.

But it could be my (psychiatric) medication that I’m taking. It’s never been this bad, though.

Good idea to get tested just in case there's an underlying cause for your vision changes.

Personally I have mine checked regularly and my vision isn't changing rapidly so I'm ok with the cheap reading glasses solution for now.

I have Safari set to 115%. That works well for me. The only thing to get used to is that it still has the right and left edges hidden, and you can swipe over to see that. In my use, I don't need to see the edges that are hidden, so I swipe straight up to maintain the centered position.
