Another option is a magnifier / lamp - my father bought one of these and it helped him through the last 4 years of loosing his sight (he still uses it to cut his finger nails). His one had a shutter that came over the lens so it didn't set fire to anything and you could change out the lens for a stronger one if you wanted.
Once he was registered blind he got the products at a reduced rate because of tax exemption. http://uk.daylightcompany.com/product/7-magnifying-lamp/ Usual disclaimer - no interest in the company just a happy user.
