Macular Degeneration
sucks. But what also sucks is people writing books about macular degeneration for patients with macular degeneration in a font that would be difficult for a person with macular degeneration to read. Sure, they made the text big in the book I'm talking about, but they used a serif font. There's a reason I chose a template that defaulted to a sans serif font. If you have bad vision, sans serif fonts are far easier to read, especially on a screen. I expect you can read this fairly well, but imagine if the text looked like this and you were half-blind. That would be difficult, I expect. I think serif fonts are pretty, especially in print, but not for a publication aimed at those with bad eyesight.
