My eyes have deteriorated pretty significantly, so I understand the problem. My Android phone has a simple magnification option (disabled by default). You might want to try the
iPhone equivalent. I know it's galling to have to use a workaround, but you might find this quite useful for a variety of tasks. My phone zooms with a triple tap; apparently it's a single three-finger tap on the iPhone. It's a nice feature which I use fairly often to compensate for another marketing-driven design choice: the curved screen edges on my Pixel 2XL. Checkboxes at the edges of the screen often don't respond to a tap; if I magnify the screen, they expand into the sensitive area. I also occasionally use it to blow up tiny text, though I have my phone set to a larger-than-standard font. This causes its own issues in some apps, including the old United one, by spoiling some screen layouts.
