Do you get up Sunday morning, grab a pen, a cup of coffee and your newspaper?  If you have been completing the crossword puzzle for many years, you may even have the confidence to use a pen. What happens when your vision starts to change and it becomes too difficult to see to complete the crossword puzzle, read the newspaper, or participate in your favorite hobbies?
