This might seem like a strange question to ask, but to those of you that have used or still own a Canon Rebel XT (350D), do you find it hard to read the text on the bottom screen (where the menus and picture preview are displayed)?

I find that sometimes, I really have to strain my eyes to read through the various menu options on the screen since the text is so small. The problem with me is more pronounced when I have allergies and one of my eye lids is swollen.

Is there anything I can do to make the text a bit bigger or does anyone have any tips on what to do?

Have you tried turning up the LCD brightness (third entry on the first tools menu).

You can purchase screen magnifiers but they're not cheap £30+ and are very bulky.

It might be worth getting your prescription checked and maybe take the camera in to show your optician. Maybe also consider bifocals/varifocals.
