Dignified Products recently introduced its Pill Bottle Magnifier, an item that helps those who have difficulty with vision to better read their prescription drug labels.

"Medicine compliance is complicated by the inability to read the prescription label," the company stated. "Many people take the wrong prescription or the wrong dosage."

Presbyopia, an eye's diminished ability to focus, which is associated with old age, begins impacting people around age 40. According to the AARP, 84 percent of adults 45 and older take at least one prescription or nonprescription drug.
