You want to figure out how long that DVD will run or how long to cook your pasta, but the type on the back of the case or spaghetti box is just too darn small. Here’s what to do…

When you want to read cooking instructions…or a price…or look up that info on the back of a jewel case…or read the small print on that menu, but the type is too small (and you forgot your reading glasses), try this. Make a fist, leaving a small hole between your palm and pinky. Bring your fist up to your eye, look through that small hole and focus on the letters or numbers you want to read. For some unknown reason, the small channel of light entering your eye clears your vision.

You can also puncture a small hole in a piece of paper with a pen point. Hold the paper hole to your eye, focus on the number and see it come into view—larger and sharp.
