Abstract
It is suggested that in this age of long commutes, high stress, and information overload, and when the age of the US population is increasing, one should assume that readers will not be able to see and read as easily as they might under ideal conditions. Therefore, one should consider how to prepare documents that are easier to read for people who have seeing problems. Attention is given to techniques for accommodating impaired distance vision, color deficiency, impaired muscle coordination, and astigmatism
