I recently had surgery on my neck which makes it very uncomfortable - no, downright painful - to tilt my head downward to read. I ran across these independent living aids called  prism bed glasses which were actually designed to allow bed-ridden patients to view TV or read while lying down. The concept is to project images from your lap, or at a 90 degree angle so you can see them without bending your neck or tipping your head. Anyway, when I first tried them on I was standing up - and only looking straight ahead - I saw my feet - scary! I might look goofy but they’ve made my life a whole lot more comfortable.
