Hi all,

I just picked up a (2002) copy of this for the Aged P, and on opening
it I found that it is a large poster, the size of 3*3 A4 sheets! I know
it's supposed to be for people with bad eyes, but this is ridiculous!
When I gave it to her, she pointed out that it is too large to use en
route, so she would now have to plan tube journeys before she leaves hom

My eyesight is bad. Surely the answer is the correct glasses?


Many forms of poor vision cannot be further corrected by spectacles. Low
vision aids may help but can be bulky & cumbersome.

As one of the above people, I swear by a pocket magnifier. This just
clips onto a keychain and can be whipped out in two seconds to look at
tube maps, books, whatever.
I don't go anywhere without it these days.
