Many elderly people find it difficult to read instructions, expiry dates, dosage timings, and warning labels printed on medicine strips and bottles because the text size is extremely small. Poor lighting and weak eyesight make the problem worse.
This confusion may lead to incorrect medicine usage, skipped doses, or accidental overconsumption. Family members are not always available to help senior citizens read the instructions properly.
The issue is common in homes and hospitals and affects the safety and independence of elderly people daily.
