Another pair of prescription glasses for reading only was a bargain for the hours a day spent on a computer and sometimes reading books. Non-prescription reading glasses from Walmart (Maybe $5, and much less in some bargain stores) seem to me a better way to improve reading than persuading a computer to do it. It may be more difficult for someone who has never had to wear glasses, but it is easy and inexpensive to try.
