Text Size

Is there any way to increase text size for easier Accessibility. As we get older it gets harder to read. It would be nice to use my computer without grabbing my reading glasses.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

Thank you very much!

I do not know how to set lower resolution, so I didn't,

I went in Settings, Display, Preferences and clicked around (not sure what I did), and the FONT size option came up! Thank you so much! Exactly what I wanted and needed!

Set the screen for a lower resolution.

In Displays pref pane click scaled & see if you havetext size choices,

Use CMD + the plus key to increase size.
