Web Eyes delivers squint-free web browsing

If you find yourself straining to read small text on websites, a new computer program might be able to help make Internet surfing easier on your eyes.
Aptly called Web Eyes, this Windows-based software places a handy toolbar on your Internet Explorer browser, which sits just underneath the address window, and includes a large red "+" and "-" button to easily enlarge or reduce text on a website, respectively.
Yes, most Internet browsers already let you adjust font size, but it typically involves three clicks through a series of drop-down menus. Web Eyes, however, lets you enlarge or reduce a site's text size with just one click and gives you many more size options to choose from.
Web Eyes doesn't work on every website, however, such as those that use a lot of Flash, but works well with HTML-based websites.
Another button on the Web Eyes toolbar lets you flip through text like a book, with an arrow to "turn" the page, opposed to scrolling down a site vertically.
