The biggest problem of mine is the vision i cannot read small numbers in short distance so what is your opinion on the digits of this computer?

All of the basic computers have the same general features. They can be differentiated by their decompression algorithms. Of the computers mentioned so far, Oceanic run DSAT and PZ+, Aqua Lung runs PZ+, Scubapro runs Buhlmann ZH-L8 or 16 ADT MB, and Suunto, Cressi, and Mares all run their own unique version of RGBM. There have been many discussions of the various algorithms in other 1st computer threads. I would advise looking at all the computers you're considering regarding their readability.

Nobody has answered his question pertaining to what appears to me to be his most important criteria and that is the size of the display. I don't know about any of the other computers but I do know the Zoop Novo has a rather large display, perhaps as large or larger than anything else in its price range. @Pete1970, the older Zoop display is not as large as the Zoop Novo so I don't know which one specifically you are looking at. Maybe someone that is more familiar with the others & knows the display size can let you know about them.

Also, have you looked at prescription lenses or magnifiers for your mask? That could be a solution to your seeing the display better.

At last you understand my problem ,i asked the divershop guy and he told me that they only have lenses for miopia but tommorow i will visit my eyeglass store to see what they have to say.

I have an Aqualung i300, and have no difficulty reading it underwater (and the vast majority of my diving has been in murky lakes, where 25 ft visibility is a rare treat). My vision is not good, and I dive without corrective lenses.
Mine is the console version; but I believe the face is the same size as the wrist version.
