I'm much more comfortable with a magnifying glass tbh. For most books I need my glasses and a good quality reading light though.

That can definitely work.

Do you use a handheld glass, or do you wear magnifying reading glasses? I've thought about trying glasses and probably should - they aren't expensive. I'm assuming though that I'll end up feeling sick from them because of the distortion around the center.

I have a large rectangular handheld magnifying glass. I 'think' it was designed for map reading. I only really use it for inspecting electronics though. I can get by with reading glasses when reading a book as long as the light conditions are good. A good reading lamp really helps and I didn't think it would make such a difference.

It took me a long time to get used to reading glasses though. Eventually age just forced the issue though.
