Okay this is a long shot Flood, but hey why not? In short I'm an avid gamer, problem is with my eyesight I have to sit like 6 inches to a foot away from my tv to be able to read or you know navigate well.

I've tried googleing around for stuff to help, but add "low vision" or "visually impaired" to a search and it's all about the blind or diseases or something.

Suggestions / ideas flood?

The Universe demands to be noticed, to be seen, and dutifully noted.

What use all those incredible firework dimensions if no eye fixes and reflects, no brain takes notes, no heart moves with passion at the display?

NASA answers the silent cry of the Cosmos for recognition.

NASA is the witness and we fellow witnesses to the endless deeps.

Also it appears you have severe myopia. Do you have glasses?

I've started wearing my glasses while I play and I find it helps a lot. I squint less so I don't get headaches after playing for a while.

Change the resolution your 360 outputs by going to the settings menu. Depending on what your video input is and your TV, there will be a variety of options that might make things a bit bigger, albeit lower resolution.

Your TV's OSD might also have a zoom feature, but the downside to this is that cropping will occur.

I should have specified Flood. I've got like 20/200 corrected vision.(that's legally blind) Glasses are a requirement not an option.

In that case get some better glasses.

Yes since if you can't see and it isn't from eye strain then you need glasses simple as that. Since you say you already have glasses get better ones.

Why would that be if you can't see even with glasses then you need better ones unless you really are that close to being blind? There is no trick to seeing better other than seeing a doctor. The only exception as I stated before is if you are straining your eyes.

Take note of the part where I mentioned how I'm legally blind. If it was as simple as buying a better set of glasses I wouldn't be searching the internet.

I saw that part it doesn't mean you can get a better pain of glasses. If anything a doctor might be able to give you some medicine or something to help. Other than that I think the only other route would be surgery. Simply put there isn't anything you can do to help improve your vision other than seeking professional medical help.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

You're severely short sighted.

Either wear glasses when you're playing games or get a stronger pair if you are wearing a pair.

Go to your optometrist for this.

Ya know what Flood? You win. Take my word for it when I say that better glasses will not help, unless they have binoculars attached to them anyway.

I'm out, you win.

Are you an idiot?

I'm also legally blind, you stupid -blam!- -blam!-, and I actually know -blam!- about optometry.

If you're wearing glasses and things are still blurry, your glasses are not adequate and you need new ones. It's purely -blam!- logical.

I didn't say things were blurry, farther away and stuff isn't BIG enough. Magnification is the problem, and yes I've tried bifocals. I'm going to let this thread die now. Check your inbox.
