It doesn't. I've always had blurred vision (myopia in one eye and 
astigmatism in the other, both fairly severe) and I'm better at 
resolving blurred images than picking detail out of small ones. I'm 
trying to reduce the neck-ache caused by straining forwards to see the 
screen.

I'll try that anyway; it may give me a better compromise. Thanks.
