How many times have those of us with less than perfect vision (even corrected) had to put our face almost on the screen to read some small print or worse a horrible font and background color combination?
Too many.
There are several solutions that you
can use.
One – the built in Windows magnifier.
Not perfect but when all else fails, it helps. Information can be
found here:

Two – Using Firefox as a web browser,
the keyboard shortcut CTRL + “+” will enlarge the font (CTRL +
“-” will reduce). If a page is not setup correctly, then you'll
get some funky duplication, but for most pages and text, it enlarges
very well.

Three – Using Internet Explorer same
basic technique as in Firefox

Four – a simple screen enlarger
program name DeskTop Zoom, which does not need administrative
privileges to install or use. It can also be used from a flash drive
as a portable program. Download the program from here
