<p>Another option when <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/02/enable-screen-zoom-in-mac-os-x-lion/">enabling zoom in OS X Lion</a> is to use a smaller floating zoom window, rather than zooming into the entire screen. </p>

<ul>

<li>Open “System Preferences” from the  Apple menu, and click on “Universal Access”</li>

<li>Click on the “Seeing” tab and under “Zoom”, click ON, and then click the checkbox next to “Zoom in window”</li>

</ul>

<p>The default zoom shortcut is Control+Scrolling, but this and other aspects can be adjusted by clicking on the “Options” button under the Zoom section of the Universal Access panel.</p>

<p>Think of it like a virtual magnifying glass, similar to what <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/03/magnifying-glass-tool-zoom-image-preview/">is in the Preview.app</a> but for everything shown on screen. </p>
