Still, needles are not that hard to thread. It's not like there's a great nationwide backlog of sewing that can finally recommence because people can finally thread their needles again.
Needles are hard to thread, if you've got no binocular vision (like me). In fact, they're friggin' impossible.
(I have a hell's brew of retinopathy (it's dormant, but I've only got half the visual field in my right eye), a fovea in the left eye that's held in place by a clip (say goodbye to fine detail!), myopia, astigmatism, and now a forty-something's presbyopia. My vision for close-up detail work is terrible, I have to rely on paralax for judging distances when driving (guess who doesn't drive at night?) and threading a needle has been impossible for me since I was 25. Even the diamond-wire needle threaders barely help. This is the first thing I've seen that might actually work!)
Actually binocular vision doesn't help - I almost always close one eye when threading needles. I need to wear reading glasses now though, getting too old to see small stuff clearly enough. (I cheat - I got some extra strong reading glasses for close work like threading needles and removing splinters (3 diopter, normally use 1.0 to 1.5 for reading) - they are a big help.)
