I now have macular degeneration in my second eye. I find it convenient when
reading to use a hand-held lighted magnifier and this has brought very clearly
to my attention the business of moving attention across the page and then

I imagine it would not be insurmountably difficult to lay out alternate lines

alternating directions this might greatly improve the speed and comfort of
reading for everyone.
