No – I can deal with those odd hairs – I turn on my bed lamp, stand next to the bed and use a hand held mirror while feeling for the hair since many of them are white or clear and hard to see due to same.
It is my toenails which are a problem. I wear eyeglasses – I have distance glasses, near glasses, and progressive lens glasses – but none of them help me to see my toe nails – and they are not that far away as I am only 5’1".
First I have to soak my feet to soften the nails. Then I sit on the edge of the bed and lift my foot up (with my hand so it gets positioned correctly), and then bend over as close as my fat self can while doing same to my foot as I can only do this without my glasses. Even then the darn nails are so hard that it takes a REALLY STRONG nail clipper to cut the nails and they each have to be cut several times to get them cut correctly – and generally need to use emery board on them after done cutting to take down the sharp edges.
Last time I did this I left my top dresser drawer – bottom of it is about 2.5 to maybe 3 ft from floor – open. When I lifted my head up from clipping one of the nails I clanged my head hard on the corner of the drawer – ouch!! Husband was downstairs watching TV and as I went past on my way to the kitchen I told him about this so if I passed out he would know what happened and then got some ice to hold on head and went with him in the living room while he watched TV – just in case I really hurt myself. Luckily I did not. This will lead, unfortunately, to him pushing even harder for me to let him cut my toenails for me.
Oh – and he insisted later that evening that I told him I hit my head on the bottom of the freezer door and did not mention the drawer. Door – drawer – he doesn’t hear that well.

I finally broke down and bought an electric nose/ear hair trimmer. All jokes aside, it’s great.
