I made these changes for people with a visual impairment can see and use the computer more clearly with the enhanced icons or large fonts. You can also use high DPI displays, high-contrast themes, also screen magnifier(enlarging small content) and auditory feedback software is helpful. If you can't see any text, maybe because of blindness, screen reader software provides text feedback though text to speech.
